MxHeppa Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 OpenType CFF (for Creative Suite) or OpenType TTF (MS Office) for Affinity programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted December 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2020 Affinity apps support OpenType fonts but I don't believe we're running the latest version, but this may be updated in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfriedberg Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm not exactly sure what @MxHeppa is asking for in that last comment, but I think it would be an excellent idea if Affinity somewhere listed in comprehensive detail exactly which features of OpenType were supported. This subject has come up before, for example in discussion of support (or lack of support) for various Indic languages. And by "comprehensive detail", I do not mean a marketing list of one- and two-word bullet points, but rather a thorough discussion of all the standard features, with limitations and optional extensions clearly identified. If Affinity is using, in full or in part, a third-party text rendering engine, that engine should also be identified (assuming that contractual terms permit it). Further, as we reasonably expect text support to grow over time, this detail document should clearly identify which version of the Affinity suite it refers to.

The attached pdf amounts to bullet points... I also likely missed some OT features and/or do not know how to turn them on. The way the file works is that there are two-letter codes. If an OT Feature is supported either automatically, that two-letter code changes to the four-letter OpenType Feature Code. As this happens via ligature substitution there is/likely are limitations to that approach. As such I do not consider this pdf as all-inclusive of the OT Feature set possible in APub/Affinity Applications.

MikeW Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 5 minutes ago, Lagarto said: Thanks, @MikeW, I adjusted the file so that it can be more easily used in Affinity Publisher. The font by Adam Twardoch (available e.g. at http://twardoch.github.io/test-fonts/nadyezhdaslone/) is required to be installed to get this working. I tried to enable all features I could from wihin Publisher but might have failed to activate some. OpentypeFeaturesTab.afpub I could just upload the file I used...

As can be seen, I did not do too well so an upload would be useful Learning is good...I'm preparing dinner at the moment, so it'll be a bit later.

MikeW Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 13 minutes ago, Lagarto said: Thanks, this font works well and exposes many of the feature sets i could not activate with the earlier version of the font-- are the moifications yours or is this an update by Mr. Twardoch? I modified it. As you know, certain ot features are not exposed in an interface. Those features should activate automatically as Serif adds them. Others will likely require hunt and peck through the interface as they are added, and yet others will need control characters and or an interface option turned on...but even then the ligatures in the font may not activate.
