Fortunately, Add is not the most crucial step. You can use Layer > Convert to curves instead, which will put each letter is on it's own layer in one click. I've had zero problems with this font doing it this way. It's not ideal but it's also not a big deal, you just need to make sure you've selected them all for the node selection step (or, you combine them in an extra step: Layer > Geometry > Merge curves. The one operation to avoid is the Layer > Geometry > Separate Curves (also Boolean Divide). That will blow every single little piece of every letter onto it's own layer and all interior voids will need to be recreated. Ultimately, the most "important" step is the node selection/select all/delete. As far as reporting it.... feel free, but I can guarantee you, Affinity is welllllllll aware of the massive problems with many of the Boolean operations. Go ahead tho. Every data point is important. Apart from the above, (regardless of approach I believe) the J, O, W and X need special individual attention. Their outlines are broken and need to be closed in order get any kind of interior fill. At least in my copy of the font. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
