I have two or three problems with the "Text Styles". Even if the lanuage is configured to "english us" the text styles (Name and in the small textbox) are using the OS language. (Screenshot) If I add some text and click on one of the predefined text styles and then click on "no style", I would expect that the previous selected stlye gets removed but it does nothing? Clicking on different text styles in a row and in between selecting "not style" is moving the highlighted bar in a strage way It would be good to have a small button for "Set no Paragraph Style" and "Set no character style"

Hello forum. First of all, Affinity Designer is wonderful software - have been using it for a couple of days now, and it is amazing. But now I have run into a problem. When I write some normal text, everything is fine [1]. But if I create a round object, convert to text path and apply my text again, the space between the letter is not correct [2]. As you can see, the space between the 'W' and the 'E' in the beginning is "big" compared with the space between 'EIP' [2]. But everything looks fine in the ordinary text line [1]. So how do I change this, so the rotating text has equal space between its letters? - I'm using the font "Lustria" - Windows Beta -
Hi, how can I copy and paste text format in Affinity Designer? Like color of text, font size, etc. Many thanks in advance to all for help. Theo -
A few days back I was using Affinity Designer (Windows), designing a logo and modifying a pre-existing font to suit my needs when it hit me. I wanted to design my own font/fonts! I searched the web to find a program that might be good for this, but all the programs on the market didn't look too amazing. The interfaces looked clumsy, unappealing and even though I am sure that they are good, I felt as if they were limited and always needed a separate program to complement them for their lack in one area or another. In most of the videos and tutorials I watched, people tended to use Adobe Illustrator to make the letters and then import the paths into the font editor. So I thought to myself; "What if Affinity Designer would have a font editor built into it, or a stand-alone software that would have the amazing interface of Affinity Designer and its ease of use?". So my suggestion is, that it would be AMAZING to have/buy an extension for Affinity Designer to be able to edit and export fonts! I do know that it is not "just" programming an extension/add-on of that sort to Affinity, but I can't imagine it being too difficult either. I mean you have all the tools that are needed for the job and the extra "specific" tools for font editing could perhaps fit under a new persona in the upper left? A font persona. That would make Affinity even more of a killer software! It would be nice if you guys considered adding this. I mean I really like Affinity Designer and I will most likely buy it on release, but I would also love to buy a font editor from you since I know that you would make it easy and fun to work with!

I had this broken Text Styles Window: Then I switched in settings to english and reopened the program, after that it was OK: I switched back the language again but the problem is gone now. UPDATE: I can reproduce it. Start AD, create new empty document (Print (Press-Ready)) If Text-Styles are already visible --> Menu -- View --> Studio --> disable Text Styles Restart AD, create new empty document (Print (Press-Ready)) Add some Artistic Text, and keep it selected Menu -- View --> Studio --> enable Text Styles

Hello Affinity Team, I've been waiting for this feature forever but I still don't see it in Affinity Designer Beta 1.5. So here it is. Would it be possible to add Vertical Alignment for Text inside Textboxes? Like this: - Top - Middle - Bottom That would be great. :) Thank you very much, Philippe Côté

I've been preparing several packaging files for vendors and continually run into a major roadblock when I want to outline live type. In Illustrator you can simply Select All and Outline Text. Done in 2 seconds and the file retains its structure. Is there currently anyway to accomplish this in AD? I'm aware of the (Layer >) Convert to Curves command. The trouble is that this command doesn't seem to penetrate groups. Which forces me to either: 1. Select/search though every group in the Layers panel for any and all text elements and manually convert them, which is both very time-consuming and prone to errors. or 2. Select All, Ungroup (x times) and then convert everything. This technically works, but it then creates an unmanageable file with hundreds of curve layers and also releases all clipping masks. :( Am I missing an awesome command or tool somewhere? Anyone know of an easier way? Thanks! :D -
What is the keyboard shortcut to escape using the artistic text tool? I've tried cmd+enter, which works on other applications, but this seems to convert the text to paths. I've also tried repeated hitting the escape which some forums seem to mention, or hitting cmd+d to deselect, but neither of these allow me to escape. My use case is after I type the text I want to move it in its entirety, but to do that I literally have to drag the mouse all the way to the selection tool, then drag all the way back to re-select the text and then be able to move it. it would be much easier to be able to escape, type v for the selection, and move. Thanks to anyone who can help! -
I'm not sure that it's a bug but I cannot create text over this background (from my attached file), please tell me the right method to do with the new beta. Thanks. :mellow: bug_text.afdesign

Hi all - This may appear as a complete 'nob head' question but I am hiding behind the excuse of being new to Affinity... Question: How to center text both center and middle in a shape? I have a number of squares, each generated with the corresponding shape tool, and want to put a block of text in each, each possibly of a different lenght. Irrespective their character number, each text block should become positioned exactly in their square's center. I've run past the text tutorials - each of which are excellent - but couldn't find the answer I am looking for. Could anyone help me out here?

I had no problems with the last update and now with this new one, no matter what I do, I can't get text on anything I'm working on. :( Stacy -

I have an HP Spectre x360 4K Touch Screen Windows 10 Machine. The commands for rotating the orientation of various windows match the commands to tighten more and loosen more text (ctrl + alt + left/right), so the Windows command takes precedent. I can disable the windows commands, but it might be worth modifying the keyboard shortcut. Thanks! I'm loving Affinity Designer. -
It would be a very useful feature to copy the features of a text , color type, size and color contour like Corel Draw funcion.

If I select some artistic or frame text in build 1.5.0.6 and copy or cut it to the Windows clipboard, I can see it on the clipboard but I can't paste it at the text cursor.

Greetings I find that combining separated pieces of artistic text in paragraphs can be very useful and I couldn't found a command that make this. If I press the normal combine, the text is converted to curves.
-
Version 1.5.0.6, I was exporting some pretty text to SVG, checked the thing telling it to export the text as curves, but no, it exported it as text. I had to go back, turn the text into curves inside the editing window and then export it to SVG. -
Upon clicking the paragraph alignment tool dropdown (normal left/center/right buttons work fine), displays dropdown for one frame and then crashes. Reproducible. -
The system crashes when you click on the small arrow next to the text alignment options in the toolbar. See attached gif.

How do I go about putting an image over text and wrap the text around the image. This can be done in PagePlus but I can't find a way to do it in Affinity.... love the prog.
