What is causing fonts to appear broken?


Recommended Posts

Hi @Ryan_Kelley and welcome to the forums...

  1. What typeface are you're using?
  2. Is this editable or outlined text?
  3. Which OS are you on?
  4. Which app are you using?

Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2
Affinity Designer  Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.5.0 (2402)

Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8
MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.7.4, Magic Mouse

Also: Is that text rotated off from vertical? I think it just looks like that because you're viewing Pixels and not Vectors.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

The text is rotated by 0.6° but even with a 72 dpi document and Pixel View Mode on I wouldn't expect that level of jaggedness...

This is what I see (text at the bottom) but of course there could be a whole host of factors at play here...

I really appreciate the quick responses. It was indeed the page not being vertical. I'm new to Affinity Designer and the zoom in/out uses different keys than what I am used to in Figma. I am constantly turning the page but I bet there is a way to lock it.
