Bhikkhu Pesala Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The OpenType feature implemtation seems good and comprehensive. There seems to be a bug with OldStyle Figures. Using my Kabala OpenType Font I can enable the OldStyle Figures, and then revert to Default sometimes, but other times the option is greyed out. Again, after a while, the application crashes.

Bhikkhu Pesala Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 If only figures are selected, the options for Default/OldStyle or Default/Proportional appear, but if other text is selected, they do not. So, for example, if I select "1st 2nd 3rd" I can select the Ordinals feature, but not OldStyle figures or Proportional figures. Annotation forms are also affected by the same issue. Available options become greyed out depending on the selection made. In other applications there are no such restrictions. In Affinity Designer, the options available seem quite arbitrary.

Dave Harris Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Typography options are disabled when they'd made no difference to the current selection. Does that explain what you are seeing? (I'm assuming you have Show all font features checked, else they'd be hidden completely.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhikkhu Pesala Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 No, that's not the reason. If I select "1st 2nd 3rd" then enabling Default figures would obviously make a difference to the selection. Show all font features is not enabled, but as you can see from the screen shots, the features are still available for selection (sometimes). Affinity Designer just crashed again too. I got no option to recover my changes.

I am wondering now if this is something that works on macOS but not Windows. If you can make the font available, I'll look into it. (The link I quoted goes to a BBC page, not a font download.)

Dave Harris Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It is working on Mac and not on Windows. I've passed it on to my Windows colleagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This should be fixed, or at least much improved, in next week's beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
