Michi Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Hello, currently i am testing the software. I have 2 questions about Designer: 1. Is it possible to change the unit px to mm General. I mean not in every document with document setting. I would like to open a document and the unit is mm. 2. I saved all my data in EPS. If i open the EPS data in a other program, I can change the font. If I open it with Designer I don´t have a font. I only have a path. Can I open EPS and still have a font in Designer? Thank you very much for your help. Edited September 9, 2020 by Michi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean not in every document with document setting. I would like to open a document and the unit is mm. Unfortunately it's not possible to set a fixed unit in preferences currently, although this is something our devs hope to add in the future. 11 hours ago, Michi said: 2. I saved all my data in EPS.

I believe this depends on the EPS file in question, could you please provide a sample document? What application are you exporting these EPS's from please?

Michi Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 In the attachment 2 files: 1st file: My original data created with AI. If I open it with AI I have "Font" in the file and can change it. 2nd file: PDF was opened with Designer. There I have a font and can change it. If I export it to EPS in Designer and open the EPS later with Designer I have the same problem, that there is no font only pathes.

Joachim_L Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The Affinities always open EPS with text as curves. Perhaps I am the only one who is glad about this, so I can place files from external source without worrying about missing fonts. What you can do is: A) Save from Illustrator as AI with the "PDF compatible" option or B) Save from Illustrator as PDF.
