how to use inclusive writing for masculine/feminine (French)


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone
I am using the French version of Affinity Publisher 1.9.3
Does anyone know how to use inclusive writing for masculine/feminine (with the dot in the middle, not on the base of the line).

The Mac shortcut (alt+shift+F) does it, but I find that the dot is very far from the letter.

Thank you for your answer.
A nice day to all and hello to the Affinity team who is doing a great job.

Maybe the font has some other dots you could use. Use the Glyph Browser to verify this. Else write with this dot you found and when the document is ready use Find and Replace to replace the dot with itself plus with a text style (Character style) that shifts the baseline down.

S'il n'y a pas la possibilité de l'éviter, il vaut mieux utiliser la méthode de @Joachim_L, sans oublier d'inclure un style de caractère sans césure ou de le faire manuellement.

If you can't avoid it, use the mentioned method, and add no-break style around those characters too, or add it manually.
