Affinity Photo V.1 - How to fix lining/space lining issues?

[Qri]

Whenever I enter my text into the frame text tool and enable the justify left option, I find that some parts of my text become very airy/spacey.  Does anyone know a way to fix this?

The first thing to try is to switch Auto-hyphenation ON – Paragraph Panel, Hyphenation section (or in Edit Style) – and see what happens.

If that doesn’t give good enough results then we would need to see what it looks like and what parts of the resultant text you don’t like.

Note: There are some existing problems with auto-hyphenation in certain languages. You can check the forums for more information about that.

Thank you so much for you quick reply!

You’re welcome.

@Qri I would suggest to try with different justification settings especially word spacing.

You can find it in "Justification" section in the Paragraph panel.

Here is a list of "fixes" from XKCD https://xkcd.com/1676/ .

Myself, I recall using 'Filler' most often back in my newspaper days, followed by'Giving up". 'Hyphenation' was always on.

Off topic, I love the ‘alt’ text in XKCD webcomics!
