JRB Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi, i am trying to get this problem fixed, but i dont find a way. I have font where some of the capital letters are not very good arranged by optic. In Photoshop i use the function V/A<- instead of metric to optical and it works fine. All font letters have the same space between. I tried to find anything compared here in affinity Designer but actually i coudn´t find it. There is a point called optical arrangement with a list with left ,right ,character but i dont get this, how it works? Please see the the attached file and have a look between the "L" and the "D" the space is much to less for optical use. I am using the latest Windows Desktop Version (German) I hope you can help Cheers JRB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G13RL Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi, JRD, You can manually adjust the space between two letters by placing the cursor between them, hold down the "Alt" key and play with the left and right arrows on the keyboard to decrease or increase this space.

Affinity Photo's help topics do not currently provide any very useful info about that, but this page from Affinity Publisher's online help does: https://affinity.help/publisher/de.lproj/pages/Text/opticalAlignment.html Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.5 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no optical kerning option in Affinity applications as you have found. So as you also found, G13RL's manual method is the only available one. Optical kerning is likely never to come to Affinity applications, if I recall one of the developer's comments in past threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought reading the help topic might make it easier for you to understand what that Character panel function is intended for.
