AFAICS, we have a brand new feature in 1.9, and it’s called “Initial text baseline advance” (doing exactly what I tried to describe above). Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

Reset Bounding Box button/command is (was?) a must have.

Regarding a kindly reply to a Twitter conversation (please find below) about custom hyphenation dictionaries support on Mac OS: Is it possible / applicable to have a different folder location for the secondary languages (i.e. Turkish in this case) other than the default one located in Affinity Publisher.app package* itself — in one of the next updates may be? Otherwise (or without any other reliable — more consistent solution), please be informed that, we lost language specific hyphens on a file and all the text styles drop auto-hyphenation to none in it, after an update. New version overwrites the app, so all the custom additions in package contents, of course. (*) Affinity Publisher.app⁩ > ⁨Contents⁩ > ⁨Resources⁩ > ⁨Dictionaries⁩ Link to above mentioned tweet: Also please see this topic (says there is a minor discrepancy between Windows and Mac OS versions Preferences, Tools panel, “Additional dictionary folder” line. Mac OS doesn’t have one):

I couldn’t find any way to set the baseline of a text frame depend upon a typeface’s x-Height i/o it’s Ascenders. IMHO, it’s kinda essential for vertical aligning —sentence case or capitalised case— text blocks properly. Sorry for the screenshot, I’ve just tried to explain myself more clearly.

+1 (sorry for the noise and thanks everyone)

Yes, please, +1
