There’s a current beta test (now at the Release Candidate stage) and nothing has been mentioned about any plans to add support for Indic Unicode fonts, so it looks as though you’ll have to continue to wait.

Version 2 of the Affinity suite was launched more than two years ago, in November 2022, but the problem already existed throughout the many years of the version 1 development cycle. Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, and Affinity Publisher were released in 2014, 2015, and 2019, respectively.

tanmay swami Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) If only the lack of font support in such good software were eliminated, our work would become much easier. Please solve this small problem quickly. This solution is very important for us. Edited February 16 by tanmay swami Quote

It is a long-standing issue (since at least release 1.4 of the applications) logged currently as AF-3329 and is apparently very difficult to fix. My honest recommendation would be to find some different software for your project using this font/script.

tanmay swami Posted March 9 Posted March 9 This software seems to be very affordable in India and our company will also market it if this small problem can be solved. Quote
tanmay swami Posted March 9 Posted March 9 If there are no other features, it would work, but font support is a strange thing. Quote

If you’ve been waiting for a fix, you’ve already been waiting for a long time. If you want to continue waiting, you will probably still have a very long wait. 4 minutes ago, tanmay swami said: This software seems to be very affordable in India and our company will also market it if this small problem can be solved.

It is the user’s (company’s) responsibility to make sure that the software they choose to purchase multiple licences for is capable of doing what they need to do with it. I understand that a user (company) cannot possibly check everything but important things, especially known vital things, need to be checked before purchasing. It has been known since (pretty much) when the Affinity applications were first released that they do not properly support Indic fonts, ‘non-Western’ writing systems, and other related things, and a quick search in the forums would have easily shown that. 13 minutes ago, tanmay swami said: This software seems to be very affordable in India and our company will also market it if this small problem can be solved. I’m not sure what you mean by that but I don’t think Serif would be okay with another company ‘marketing’ their software without some kind of official agreement. Alfred 1 Quote

There’s no ‘pretty much’ about it, Garry! Serif’s previous (Windows only) software products didn’t properly support Unicode Indic fonts; Serif’s old ‘flagship’ product, PagePlus, was in continuous development for over thirty years.
