Vikjohn Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I am making a family history book for my mother inlaw and I have a lot of pages full of stories about her ancestors. I pasted the text in the box link to the next page and it ... changes font size? How can I get the fonts to be correct? Sometimes when I look at the font style for my default 12 point it says it is 16.3 or something similar. This is so confusing. Also, I have a font for 12 pt. which is larger than 14 pt. I am SO confused. I need to get this done; mothers day is coming up and well, she is 89. In the example the text is all the default 12 pt... notice the difference? Quote
PaulEC Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 The usual reason for this happening is that you have accidentally resized the text frame with the outer handle at the bottom right. This will resize the text as well as the frame. The solution is to replace the text frame, and be careful to use the inner handle, if you need to resize it.

Vikjohn Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 I just did a delete on the second page of text, used the Text tool and made a new box (not using that resize bottom right) and the same problem exists. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 It's difficult to be sure if you made the resizing mistake on the first text frame or the second one. Either can cause an issue like this. You may need to copy all the text, delete both Text Frames, draw a new one, and paste the text in. laurent32 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Vikjohn Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 I think I found the problem. I copied that text from FamilySearch and pasted straight into Affinity. This time I pasted into a text file (Notepad) and then into Affinity. Works. At least I'm hoping it is the whole problem. Thanks all, ... V Quote
laurent32 Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 It could be a little more complicated… Text could be modified when resizing a text frame and that same (altered) text could flow in other text frame so the problem could propagate from text frames to text frames… Quote MacBook Pro 16 pouces (3456 × 2234), 2021 / Apple M1 Pro / 16 Go / macOS Ventura Version 13.4.1 (22F82) + 31,5 pouces (2560 × 1440) + 27 pouces (1080 × 1920) + iPad (8th generation) / iPadOS 17.2 + Apple Pencil + … Macmini6,2 Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16 Go / macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 (19H2026) MacBookAir6,2 Intel Core i5 double cœur 4 Go / macOS Big Sur version 11.7.7 (20G1345) Licence Universelle Affinity V2 updated to 2.3.0
