We used Affinity Publisher to typeset a book for a client. I have included two screenshots below, of the same section of text from two exports of the same file with NO changes made to the file, but exported a week apart (first on the 3rd August, second on the 11th August). The font and styles were NOT changed, nor were any amends to the text made. It was simply exported, saved, closed, reopened and a new file exported. on the same computer.

The example is not an anomaly - this has occurred on all text throughout the book.

The only explanation I can come up with is that there must be something in the software which has read the font file differently a week later?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Yes, if you updated to 1.10, that is almost certainly what happened. There was an error in 1.9 whereby the justification setting for minimum letter spacing was ignored. That issue was fixed in 1.10, and as that setting directly affects reflow of text, it would explain why you are seeing this.

If that is indeed the case, and you wish to have the layout revert back to the way it was in 1.9, then I suggest you set the minimum letter spacing for all the affected text to 0%, which should have the same effect as what 1.9 was erroneously doing.
