walt.farrell Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The Typography features that are available are determined almost completely by the font you have specified. Without knowing exactly what fonts, and where you got them, we cannot say what should be available.

Staff Dan C Posted August 16, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi @qwz, As Walt has mentioned, Typography features are font specific, however I can see you have also reported; 8 hours ago, qwz said: Character Typography dialogue freezes Designer and Publisher Could you please expand on this for me please? Is this happening when you open this Studio? Does this happen every time? are you able to provide a screen recording of this for me?

qwz Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sorry, have checked it on second PC and and it's gone. Some glitch with newly installed fonts, i suppose. If it returns i'll try to record it. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwz Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 It appears from time to time when i use a Yury Gordon's fonts with excessive features like alternate glyphs, ligatures etc. A Typography panel just freezes. 1.10.1.1142 recorded screen cast there https://yadi.sk/i/LqFJwjlqc674Pw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please be very specific about what does not show or is missing from which fonts. I have both EB Garamond and AntiQuasi incl. Caps so I can test those. Do not have Baker Street 221B Mr Holmes - so I cannot test that. I do not see any ligature, or OpenType feature, etc. missing, but do not know exactly what you are looking at. qwz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwz Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 It is not missing, but it FREEZES Affinity app. So i have to close it via Task Manager kill and start again, open auto-save and on, and on, and on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwz Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 it might be a first look - 'cause due freezing i cannot check all options working and available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwz Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 So, firstly, freezing has to be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 21, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2021 @qwz, apologies for the delayed response! I have installed the EBGaramond font from Google fonts and have been testing this here on my Windows system. As of yet, I have been unable to replicate any 'freezing' when enabling/disabling the Typography features, although I do note this is a 'variable font family', which isn't directly supported in Affinity at this time. Could you possibly provide a screen recording showing the exact settings you're enabling/disabling, in order to cause these 'freezes'? Can you also please navigate to Edit > Preferences > Performance and provide me with a screenshot of your settings here? Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Google supplies both the static and variable font families, though. Do we know which ones @qwz has installed? (And which did you install?)

Staff Dan C Posted September 22, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2021 That's a great point, I personally tested with the variable version, as I had assumed the fact Affinity doesn't fully support variable fonts yet could have been a cause of the issue that the OP was seeing - but it would be good to know which they had installed?

qwz Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yes, it's variable font (https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12) I was not aware that Affinity apps doesn't support variable fonts fully. There is a screencast https://yadi.sk/i/KUz6ZjFtSpapow After checking alternate options it freezes completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks for the screen recording! I have replicated the steps shown using the Google Fonts version and I'm not seeing the same freezing - could you please try removing the Github version and installing the Google version and let me know if you're still seeing this hang?

qwz Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thank you, Dan. Tried both Google Fonts TTF and GitHub OTF versions. With same result except GitHub has no Ligatures Available (most used features for me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 28, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thanks for confirming that for me, unfortunately I'm still unable to replicate this issue here - however using the information you've provided I have reported this to our developers and we hope to have this resolved in a future update EDIT - If possible, if you can replicate this freezing, please open Task Manager and then right-click on the Affinity app and select Create Dump File. This should generate a full log for our developers to further investigate, and can be uploaded to the below link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/jg8mQlXivuE999jOumrh Please let me know when you have uploaded this file! qwz 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

The OctavioPardo GitHub version actually has more ligatures than the Google Fonts version. Are you looking at the old GeorgeD repository?
