Font size bug, comma dissapears after changing the font size, making it HUGE!


Recommended Posts

As the title explains whenever i change the font size the comma dissapears.

it only happens when i select a font size from the dropdown menu.

It's probably not good practice to use mm as a font size but it's there.

Before:

After changing the font size:

I first noticed this comming from 1.8 to 1.9 update.

hope this can be fixed, it gets a little anoying after changing sizes a lot.

Otherwise happy with affinity!

Hello and welcome to the forum

Go to the preference --> Surface. Here, "Specify text size in points" should be ticked.

Thank you, and thanks for the reply.

But yes, i know of this.

I use mm units to design for cnc machining where i want to know the exact font size in metric.

Manually it still works fine but i just wanted to point out this is a thing.

OK, I can confirm the bug. The font size does not use the system setting for the decimal seperator.

For me, the decimal point is displayed although the system uses the comma here.

The result is that the decimal separator is ignored and the value appears as an integer. The bug also affects Photo and Publisher.

Hi Antwagonist,

This is caused by the font list not correctly showing , as a decimal separator and instead is still using . which is getting eaten up when applied. I'll get this raised and passed onto development. In the meantime you should still be able to specifiy the size yourself using , as a separator. It is just when choosing from the list that is the issue.

I second this issue. It's since the/one of the new updates, it worked perfectly fine in 1.8

Interestingly on my end it's exactly the opposite as Kommatös showed, as my system default as decimal separator is

.

and Affinity has ALL* my decimals with

,

* this means that this bug also effects the transform input fields which I use A LOT in my daily workflow in combination with the numpad. So this bug hits me pretty hard, unfortunately.

Have you selected German or German ( Swiss ) in the language settings of Windows?

Since several release iterations have past now and the bug is still there, did you get any feedback from development when/if there are any plans to fix this? And unfortunately I can't downgrade to 1.8.5 as I have a lot of files to work with which are saved in newer versions of AD.

Yes, this is slowing my daily workflow DRASTICALLY. I was hoping that at least in V2 this issue will be gone, but I got dissapointed. :(

It's even more frustrating as it worked in 1.7 (or 1.8 even?) so it should (hopefully) be easy to reproduce/locate the error.

This is driving me nuts for over a year now.
