LATEX Math Symbols

[Simm]

I would like to have access to the use of the LATEX Math Symbols in Affinity Publisher. Apple provides such access in its Pages app through a simple dropdown dialog. Something similar would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You can probably install the fonts and use the symbols that way. One user posted them to the Resources forum:

Thanks for the suggestion. I really am looking for something more like what Apple uses in Pages to be added to Affinity Publisher.

Can you say exactly what you would like to be able to do in Affinity Publisher that you cannot do now please?

Would it help to have what I call a typecase PDF document?

Here ia a post that I produced some time ago.

Would one of those but for LaTex symbols solve the problem?

The Glyph Browser is as close as you'll get for now in the application. It should work reasonably well once you've installed the font, and it has a search function to let you find characters by name.

William's idea is also an interesting one.

Or, if you have only a few that you use regularly it might be faster to learn their Unicode numbers and enter them that way.

(Yes, these are all workarounds, but you'll need something for now and for some indefinite period of time to come.)
