In much of Asia, it is usual  to have bits of Latin-script text in a block of Thai, Chinese, or whatever.

Right now I'm working on a restaurant menu where one field requires both Thai and Latin script. The next version  will need Chinese, too.

To make this look good I need a different font for each script.


In Microsoft Word I can define a style that uses an entirely different font for each script. From the posts I've seen, in Affinity Publisher I would need to override a paragraph style with a manually applied character style for two of the three scripts. This is a pain, and since I'd have to do it over again whenever my merge data  changes,  I can't really use Publisher for this job.

This problem must be hurting Affinity sales all over Asia, and I would think that applying a font according to a range of Unicode code points would not be a big programming  challenge.
