Wangkanai Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Its something special, its for Font designers. The good alternative right now is FontLab, which I don’t like that vector capabilities. I would like Affinity Designer vector much more. So I could design font on move in Affinity Designer on iPad, then go to Affinity Chirographer on Desktop. Still would make a huge difference in time consuming workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Probably too small a market and there are some good tools already. See https://alexjohnlucas.com/type/software and https://typedrawers.com/discussion/858/should-i-switch-from-glyphs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 As @Fixx says, probably too small a market, making it hard to see how it would be worthwhile for the developers to adapt the Affinity format to work with font files. (I have to confess that the word ‘chirographer’ is new to me, but having looked it up I find that chirography seems to be related specifically to handwriting and penmanship, not font creation/editing.)

Lmpessoa Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If plugins were available (for Affinity Designer) it would be easy to create one to export shapes designed in it to a font format. Anyway, no plugin support for now...
