Jim Monson Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I have one AffPub doc in which the Art Text tool (and only that tool and only in that doc) types symbols on the screen rather than letters. I have checked all Mac's System Preferences in OS 11.2.3 and my keyboard is correctly chosen. I have also checked Affinity preferences and see nothing related to this. The keyboard works find in other docs and apps. I have also zapped the PRAM and booted with SHIFT. The FRAMETEXT tool work fine, plus I have tried different Mac keyboards and have the same problem. Might this be a bug that crept into this one doc, or is there any Affinity setting that I have missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Monson Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 PS to my first post: I just tried a copy/paste of a text from a FRAME TEXT into an ART TEXT and it did this correctly (letters and not symbols). However, creating the same text directly in ART TEXT produces only symbols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which font does this happen with? There are fonts that have no letters as glyphs. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Monson Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 You are right on, Old Bruce. I never thought of that since haven't changed fonts in this doc, but I must have since instead of Cambia I now (thanks to you) see that Wingdings is there. I haven't used that in years but must have mistakenly hit some keyboard combo or ??? I should have check my fonts right away .dhaa.... Many thanks for such a quick reply!
