LITH Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) hello, file created in 1.6 looks different after openning in 1.7. I attached original file created in 1.6 (and and file exported to PDF in 1.6) and screenshots with differences after openning these files in 1.7. I marked problems by blue arrows. The file openned in 1.8 is also wrong the same way as 1.7 My graphic is quite simple and the problem can be seen at first glance. But I can't imagine how to check if something complicated looks the same when upgrading to a new version of affinity. I admit that I found this finding very unpleasantly surprised :o( Best regards, Libor original file created in 1.6.afdesign original file created in 1.6 and exported to PDF in 1.6.pdf Edited January 10, 2020 by LITH I made mistake in versions of Affinity - the problem is between 1.6 and 1.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 As this is a problem with the 1.8 beta it should have been posted in the Designer Beta on Windows forum. Probably a moderator will move it when they notice. Original post has been corrected; it's not a beta problem.

LITH Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hello Mr. walt.farrell, I made mistake. The problem is between 1.6 and 1.7 (I already edited my post). But the same problem as in 1.7 is also in 1.8 Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted January 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi @LITH, Can you upload these fonts to this dropbox link? https://www.dropbox.com/request/40ExWUJNkZghye7Y2Lbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITH Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi Gabe, I uploaded 2 of 3 fonts, but the third I cant find. Can you tell me how can I find font by its name on local PC? I have installed a lot of fonts and file name and font name is not the same :o( Also I am not sure if I used the third font in the document. Is any way how to check what fonts are used in affinity document and where are used? Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 MS Shell Dlg 2 is used in your document, it is the Registered character. The jumping word KILL BAR seems to be caused by an inserted tab. Why it is interpreted differently ... The used e in your document is the "normal" small letter e, whereas in the 1.6 document the e is the Alternate 1 version. Did you use this alternate e on purpose? Strange thing: In the typography popup you always get the preview of the alternate e even if you switch to Default. This is all I found out, the rest is up to those who live in the code.

LITH Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi Joachim_L, I am sorry, but I dont know what it is " Alternate 1 version". How can I recognise "Alternate version" of some text or letter? Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITH Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi Joachim_L, I checked my document and .... The jumping word KILL BAR seems to be caused by an inserted tab. Why it is interpreted differently ... - yes, tehere is TAB. its true and it is my mistake I am not sure if it is good idea to interprete tab in one version one way and it next version another way :o( it is not possible to check whole document everytime after new version of designer alternate "e" - I am not designer guru and I dont use typography popup. So I dont know how it happend. Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks for the files. It does seem to be a problem with the ligatures in the latest versions, and I logged this issue with our developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
