Universally tweak letters of a text


Recommended Posts

Hi! Is there a way to edit one letter in a text so it would change every time i use this letter again?
For example, i have a word "Coffee". Can i adjust paths of fitst F and A so that the second ones would preserve the changes?

Is it okay to ask this things once in a while? I'm afraid that i post a lot

You want something like this Coffee so that when you type Cof  the next f will be red, then change back to black?

If so then no, at least not that I know of.

Keep asking questions, I learn a lot from trying to solve the problems or reading the answers.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks for help!
By change i mean not the simple text adjustments like color or font size but rather the curvature of the letter. For example, i type COFFEE => convert text to curves=> try to change my F to a slightly different shape (making it taller, curvier etc...).

Can i make the second F automatically look like my new F? 

BTW, sorry for my grammar, i'm not a native speaker 😃

It sounds as though you want to create a symbol.

What Alfred said. Or you may be able to get away with just copy and paste.

But a Symbol would allow you make a change later on to one of the fs and have the second one change automatically.

I think i understood how it works. I need to create symbol from first letter, than duplicate it and replace the second letter with symbol. It there a way of alligning one shape to other? Thanks
