Matthew Dickerson Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I seem to be getting a lot of incorrect kerning in both Affinity V1 & 2, the Text/Font has not had kerning modified and should look like how it does in Pages (bottom Right in example photo), I tried the font in other software - photoshop and illustrator and it looks like the Pages example.

Matthew Dickerson Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 There seems to be no kerning applied at all in the affinity apps. All the letters are bunched together..

MikeTO Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I can't duplicate this, it looks correct for me. But note that in my screenshot the font is SF Pro Text and not just SF Pro. Which SF Pro fonts are in your font dropdown? The basic set is SF Pro Text, SF Pro Rounded, and SF Pro Display. I'm surprised to see SF Pro without one of these suffixes in your screenshot. Which version of macOS are you on?

kenmcd Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The "SF Pro" font is a variable font. Matthew Dickerson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmcd Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The static SF Pro Text Black should be the same as what you were attempting. And it should work. 🙂 Matthew Dickerson and MikeTO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dia-21534 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I can confirm that using variable fonts doesn't work, I had problems with my kerning in designer and publisher too. Using the not variable version of the font and everything is normal now! I'm on Mac Ventura and Affinity Publisher 2.0.3 right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
