UncleMonkey Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Affinity's inability to break lines of Thai Text was a minor irritation on graphics projects, but now that I'm laying out a book, it's a BIG problem. Any time I inset text, I have to redo all the line breaks in a paragraph. If I change a style definition late in the job, I'm going to have to go back and manually change the lineation in every paragraph. Not fun! I wonder if the Thai government hasn't published code you could use for this. Hope you can fix this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Mac Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) It is not a BIG problem for me — it is a complete SHOWSTOPPER. Publisher simply is not able to recognise the actual Thai words—it seems to rely on the space character, and a few others, to define word boundaries. In Thai, however, although there is a space between sentences, there is no space between words. It will therefore never break lines correctly until this is fixed. Which I hope it is one day soon. Until then, to my great sadness, I have to use InDesign, Word or Pages (on Mac) to set Thai properly. And since most of my work these days involves Thai characters, it means that Publisher sits completely unused in my Applications folder. Sad.
