  1. I have a long text (10 pt) running through multiple frames. When I insert a new frame somewhere in between existing frames, the text flows through the new frame allright, but in that new frame the typesize is changed to something very small (3.5 pt) and somtimes the linespacing goes to maybe 50 pt. For years I have used long flows of text through multiple small frames (also inserting new frames in the flow) on multiple pages using Adobe InDesign. That works very well :-) Hopefully there is a workaround or is it perhaps a bug? Multiple textframes goes wrong.pdf
  2. I usually use left justified text which is why this question/issue has not come up previously for me. I'm setting some text in three columns to be justified, last line to the left, and automatic hyphenation. The space between the words seems just a bit wide for my liking, so I've playing with the settings in the Paragraph/Justification panel. The letter sizes themselves seem OK, just the space between the words is a bit wide. The help for these items is not particularly useful. The values are in %, but it's % of what exactly? I'm interested particularly in the first three on this list, I think. I made a screen recording which I can post if necessary. Setting the Minimum Word Spacing and Desired Word Spacing does have some effect, but Maximum Word Spacing barely affects anything unless I bring it way below 100% (default seems to be 132%). For now I will upload a screen shot. The green underlined text seems like tidy spacing, but the red seems too wide. There are other examples of "good" and "bad" in this simple section. What is the best (or a better) way to reduce the spacing between words automatically for justified text? Obviously this is lorem ipsum text, but the actual English text doesn't fare much better - it still has some large unsightly gaps. Thanks.
  3. I think the default shortcut for the Convert to Curve(Ctrl/CMD Return) is problematic. Many people accidentally do that while editing text and don't notice until later. I saw multiple complains on social media. Though it can be changed in the Preferences, the default shortcut need to be reconsidered.
  4. I can not figure out how to use it. I applied this to bulleted list but nothing happens.
  5. In marathi/hindi language, words have joined syllables. But In P*******p I couldn't do that even if I pasted it from the google translate. So I found this solution in P*******p where you can change things in preferences. But Can't find the solution for affinity. Please Help! I have a lot of projects in marathi. I have attached the screenshot. This is the solution for P*******p: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2102748
  6. Please add an option that let us select a text/line unit other than Point in the Preferences>UI. If possible, I would like you to add Q unit.
  7. Bug report. Using the latest version at the point of writing this ( v1.10.5.1342 ) Video with explanation attached below. (Has audio) Thank you for taking your time looking into my report. Please do correct me or provide other inputs for me to further update this post. The asset text change is permanent and will look deformed on other new documents too.

  8. Hi, can you please help me to understand how to insert bitcoin (U+20BF) and Russian ruble (U+20BD) symbols to affinity designer text. It does not work neither on desktop nor on iPad. Thank you
  9. Granted it took Adobe something like 20 years to put this feature into Illustrator, so I'm not expecting this to appear overnight, but is there a way to convert between these two kinds of text types?
  10. I'm new to Affinity Designer and really struggling. Is there a tutorial on editing text in an eps file?
  11. some time ago I saved a paragraph format , justification, text font and size etc. I remember there was a key board short cut option and I chose 'control 1' for one style and 'control 2' for another. Since then something strange has happened when I key in 1 or 2 without pressing control key the open text box is reformated instead of typing 1 or 2. So basically, now I can't type 1 or 2 . I only created this short cut once, a while back and I cant remember how I did it. Obviously this is a big problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
  12. Hello everyone, using Affinity Designer, is there a way to assign a list of text snippets to predefined slots? Example: I want to create a periodic table. I would probably use Symbols to design a single element cell. Then I'll duplicate and distribute the symbols ~120× to form a periodic table. Let's assume I already have a list of element names (Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium...) in a text file. Can I somehow instruct Affinity Designer to distribute these element names in order into my ~120 symbols? How would you do it? Thanks!
  13. Is there a way in Designer that, with or without converting to curves, I can take text and transform it so that one side is longer than another, giving it a trapezoidal shape? Alternately, can I take my curves or text and distort ir arbitrarily by moving a corner, similar to Photoshop's "distort" transform function. Basically, I just need to have a block of text that is larger on one end and gets smaller at the other end...without changing the font of every single character one at a time to gradually increasing (or decreasing) size. I can find out to resize it, rotate it, skew it, but no way to stretch it like that. Examples from Photoshop:
  14. Hi Typing ion markings, I found a problem with inserting a plus and minus sign in the superscript position! Despite the superscript function in many fonts, characters remain in the base position. Designer, Publisher and Photo Robert superscript problem.afdesign
  15. Hello Team Hello Everyone Yes it has been long time since i wrote here, but today i realized while working on a project that i didn't knew how to Break a text into words/lines. I went to help file and found a quick how to ... but realized then when I break text into words or line using Shift+Return, it all become curves and non editable anymore. Is there a way to do that operation without changing the nature of text/object and keep editing it ? your help is welcome. Blessings
  16. I recently noticed that none of the "black" text in my document was actually printing on my laser printer as black. I created the attached simple Affinity Publisher document to demonstrate the problem. This document accepts all the default settings for a new "Press Ready" letter sized document, which includes the CMYK/8 color format and U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color profile. I changed nothing, added a single line of text, and printed the document. The text on the printed document is noticeably dithered. I tried exporting a PDF (also attached) and find that when I try to print it, the text is exactly the same, dithered a bit. I have confirmed that the document has (by default) chosen the proper C0 M0 Y0 K100 color of black for the body text. Note that I can use the same laser printer to print a similar simple test from Apple's Pages software and the text appears crisp and fully black. What am I doing wrong with Affinity Publisher? How can I be sure that when I export my PDF for the printer, it will export with proper black text when I cannot confirm this myself before sending it off? I'd like to be able to print decent proofs in my office, it is extremely frustrating that everything I print comes out looking pixellated (see the photograph, Affinity Publisher sample on top, Pages sample below). test-black.afpub test-black.pdf pages-black.pdf
  17. Hi, I've been using Affinity Designer for awhile now, and just today it has started putting a black background on any text I create (both frame tool and artistic). I go to the character palette, and the background color is set, but it is not black. The frame background is black ,and there is no way to change this. I tried relaunching Designer, and it is still happening. If I convert the text to curves, I get the text object and another object that is a black box. What can I do to stop this from happening?? Thanks, Colin
  18. I was trying to make a headline which is rotated just a bit and having an outer shadow and 3D effect added to it. I then added and clipped a Gaussian Blur live filter to the text, and that's when things went wrong. It's like there is a line down the middle of the text messing up the 3D effect. What is going on here? Turning the Gaussian Blur filter off returns the text to normal with a normal 3D effect. The line gets worse the more I turn up the Gaussian Blur filter. Screenshots as well as the .afphoto file attached. Best wishes IMG_1201, fejl i Affinity Photo.afphoto
  19. Hi there. When doing a sentence case capitalisation in Spanish language, there is a constant error on which the "Y" is always set as uppercase. Reading you official description of the sentence case function, it seems that… is it considering "Y" as a proper noun? Example: NOVEDADES EN LAS NUEVAS VERSIONES DE AFFINITY Y OTRAS COSAS INTERESANTES results in: Novedades en las nuevas versiones de affinity Y otras cosas interesantes (On a merry anecdote, Affinity does not think Affinity is as a proper noun ) It is not a terrible error, but having in mind the hideous trend of our customers to write all titles and subtitles and even paragraphs in all caps, it adds extra work to check for the rogue Y's. Cheers to the team!
  20. Hi. I have a question for you, can I move the text and the black strap from picture 1 to picture 2? Best regards Westlin
  21. Hi guys, recently I modified a lot of properties for a project and now I get this weird, way to big of a space between the sentences after pressing enter. I've already tried EDIT/Standard Values/Reset but its seems to reset everything but the space. Any idea where to look? Cheers Alex
  22. In much of Asia, it is usual to have bits of Latin-script text in a block of Thai, Chinese, or whatever. Right now I'm working on a restaurant menu where one field requires both Thai and Latin script. The next version will need Chinese, too. To make this look good I need a different font for each script. In Microsoft Word I can define a style that uses an entirely different font for each script. From the posts I've seen, in Affinity Publisher I would need to override a paragraph style with a manually applied character style for two of the three scripts. This is a pain, and since I'd have to do it over again whenever my merge data changes, I can't really use Publisher for this job. This problem must be hurting Affinity sales all over Asia, and I would think that applying a font according to a range of Unicode code points would not be a big programming challenge.
  23. I have a label of text, graphics and a photo composed in Publisher. I can group them all and I want to proportionally reduce the dimensions of the group to fit a smaller container. When I reduce the dimensions by moving the corner marker, the graphics and the photo get smaller, but the text does not. Any suggestions? TIA.
  24. Hi! Now that we have a fantastic constraints feature could be very useful to have an option to show/hide overflow in Text Areas. This feature could avoid extra complexity in assets design, allowing to emulate a realistic text "cropping". Cheers!
  25. All new text, artistic text, or text frames all have a brown/red background when I create them. The background color is set to transparent. While I can set them to a different color, I can not set them to transparent. Is it some setting I overlook?
