oschrenk Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I wanted to fix an issue with an existing design and I am running into text flow issues within that file. 1. Words are breaking (where the were not breaking before) 2a. Text flow within a curve are not working as expected. They are currently rendered below the actual curve instead of within. 2b. Creating a new curve with text does not flow text correctly. macOS 10.15.1 Beta (19B86a) Designer 1.73 affinity-not-flowing.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted October 29, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi oschrenk, Could you attach a file that demonstrates the issues you are getting please? Do you have a file that opened fine in 1.7.2 that now doesn't in 1.7.3? Regarding the text flow, could you also attach a file that demonstrates this please? I've just tried it on a new document and it is fine, this could be down to some formatting settings or defaults in your file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oschrenk Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 I made an example file not-flowing-nyala.afdesign Changing the typeface fixes the issue (but I need that font.) It worked before. Although I have to correct myself, I am actually not sure with which version created the file with. macOS Preview shows the correct rendering in the thumbnail.

oschrenk Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 I had issues with that specific typeface and AD before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted November 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi oschrenk, Thank you very much for that, I've reproduced the issue with Nyala and have passed it on to Development to be looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oschrenk Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi Sean @Sean P, While I am waiting eagerly for a new beta that might address my issue, I was hoping to work around the issue by using an older version of Affinity Designer and I am running into some roadblocks. Through a forum post (1) I found a link to older versions at (2), especially to 1.7.0 and 1.6.5. I can verify that the bug was already existent in 1.7.0 and that I can’t work with 1.7.x of Affinity on this project. But, unfortunately, I am not able to run the 1.6.5 version offered on (2). It says “Your trial has expired!”. I bought Affinity Designer via the MacApp store and don’t have a product key that I am aware of. 1) Is there a way to reset the trial? Or 2) Give me a (temporary) product key for 1.6? Regards, Oliver (1) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/101305-mac-install-older-version/&tab=comments#comment-545913 (2) https://store.serif.com/en-gb/update/macos/designer/1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted November 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi Oliver, Unfortunately it is not possible to reset the trial, or give out temporary product keys unfortunately. If you have a Time Machine backup set up on your Mac it may be possible to get an earlier version using that, however any file that has been saved in 1.7 will not open in 1.6, so you will have to have to recreate your document if it has been saved in 1.7.

oschrenk Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 I retested 1.8.0.2 beta and the behaviour is still broken for Nyala font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oschrenk Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 I retested in 1.8.3 for Nyala font. Any advice on perhaps fixing the font instead of the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
