Ronald N. Tan Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This thread is for people (like me) who are interested and hoping for support of Indic languages in Affinity Version 2 (V2). Sadly, there is still no support for Indic languages as of this moment, the 9th November, 2022. Features may be added in a future point-update or point-release. Let's all remain positive and hopeful that the staff and developers at Serif keeps the dialogue for Indic Languages and RTL Language support as open.

Dev Kulkarni Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I genuinely am willing to pay the 40% discount back to Serif if they add the Indic Font Support. Just hire despo Indian developers who like affinity already. They'll probably do it without prompting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably do it without prompting I remain hopeful and positive, but based on the development cycle of Affinity Suite of Applications (Designer, Photo, and Publisher), I am not holding my breath. Here is to hoping that Serif puts Indic and RTL languages on their internal product development roadmap for version 3. Until that day arrives, I will vote with wallet and not upgrade to Publisher 2.X or to the full Suite of Applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaWerd Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Yes we also won't buy Affinity until it can support indic, RTL and vertical script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB2022 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this for years now and am starting to lose hope... Publisher would be such an amazing product if it had proper Indic language support. DesignerUSA and Pocomedia 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prabhu.thi Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Need tamil font support. Pls let us know the updates on the same. Pocomedia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proton Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 When will this become reality... After V1 shelled out money for V2 and eagerly installed V2.2 also... No updates... Gimp could easily implement ages ago, and Inkscape, why Affinity is struggling? I tried langugage, script etc in Styles... no luck, it doesn't render the glyph as they should.

ChimpJr. Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I am voicing in to request to include support for Indic Language text in the upcoming future updates. Affinity Designer V2 is outstanding overall, but it only lacks to fully support Indic Language text/typing. Hey Serif developers, it would be great if you could please add support for Indic Languages. Edited February 8 by Rajesh.Maskal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajja Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 For what its worth, I echo the same for the nth time. Affinity is a great solution; it may need a major change to the text processing to support Indic font - but that would be an investment for sure, considering the the scale of market that it can reap.
