Igor23 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Are there any plans to add glyph scaling in Affinity Publisher? Such a feature would be very useful for line justification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor23 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 What do you mean by 'that is just so wrong'? I understand that glyph scaling isn't seen as ideal but I think it would be nice to have for those that do want to use it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it works best if the application also has paragraph composition, i.e., InDesign's paragraph composer vs. line composition like APub, QXP and most all other layout applications.

Igor23 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 I read in this article that “The justification engine designed by Donald Knuth is built into Affinity Publisher...”, doesn't that mean that AfPub justifies using paragraphs instead of line-by-line? (I'm unfamiliar with this topic so I might be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDesign only uses glyph scaling when using one of the paragraph composers, but not for every language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor23 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hopefully they add multi line composition as well as glyph scaling in 2.0:) I will pay 50$ again just for those features! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
