Adrian Collett Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 How do I create a name with an umlaut above the "o"? I have done this in Word and then copied it over, but the "o" with umlaut does not then follow the changes in characteristics applied to the text. So how do I does this in Affinity? Thank you. Quote

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Adrian Collett Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 Good point. I'm using Arial, which I would have thought would have something as basic as this. I'll try again. Quote
Adrian Collett Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 Sadly, I can't find any way to type an umlaut in Arial. Quote
thomaso Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Arial definitely has umlaute. Probably the Glyphs panel in Affinity will show them. Do you ask how to type it on a keyboard without umlaut? In macOS (can't tell about Windows) if you press-hold the o key then an options dialog pops up offering various characters, either click on one or type the number given below to type the character. This also works to modify an existing character if it gets selected before press-holding its key again. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1

Thank you for trying. thomaso 1 Quote

Thank you for trying. If your keyboard has a separate numeric keypad you can use the appropriate ‘Alt’ sequence: Alt+0214 -> Ö Alt+0246 -> ö Alternatively, you can visit a web page that displays these characters for copying and pasting. My ‘go to’ site for this is TypeIt.org. https://german.typeit.org Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
