kamanderside Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Fractions in typography for more numbers. Like 3/8, 9/16, 15/32, etc. I work on a catalog that uses imperial measurements on their products and it would be a big time saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Are you referring to vulgar or common fractions in general, or are you seeking to distinguish specifically between nut, stacked, or case fractions (where the numerator is separate from the denominator by a horizontal line) and slashed or diagonal fractions (where the separator is an oblique stroke)? Nut fractions are tricky if you don’t have fonts that include them, but you can easily construct slashed fractions from superscript and subscript numerals.

The Typography panel enables features that are provided by the font you are using. If your font does not provide a ligature or representation for the specific fraction you need, it won't be available there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fde101 stated if your font doesn't have the glyphs for fractions you have to use Super- and Sub- script plus a leading offset and then the Shear for the " / ".

Yes, but this is the feature request part of the forums, and Affinity could provide fake fraction support, just as it provides fake Super- and Subscript support kamanderside 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
