thepaperwings Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Hello. The justify left option makes weird spacing, and does not hyphenate words at all. This makes the program completely unusable for me. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hi @thepaperwings and welcome to the forums, Unfortunately, Hunspell, the dictionary used by the Affinity apps doesn't include a Korean hyphenation dictionary, which you would need to have installed for hyphenation to take effect. This is why your text doesn't appear hyphenated and you subsequently see the large gaps in the Justified Left text. If such a dictionary were available you would control the hyphenation by adjusting the values in the hyphenation section...

thepaperwings Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Hello, thank you for your reply. I'm not sure that is the problem, because it does this in English too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTO Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 The English US hyphenation dictionary (which is used for US English and every variant of English except the UK) is very limited so words like "undoubtable" won't hyphenate well - the only break point in that word is undoubtable. Change Character > Language > Hyphenation from Auto to "English (United Kingdom)" for better hyphenation. It's okay to use the UK hyphenation dictionary with other English variants, it really can't be any worse than what it is. This isn't Serif's fault, it's just a limitation of the Hunspell dictionaries that are used by many companies including Apple.

kenmcd Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 @thepaperwings Your screenshots show the font selected is Arial - and Arial does not have Korean characters (or any other CJK). So there are some substitutions happening. Please attach your test document and a PDF of that document. Then we will have a better idea of what is happening. If the language selected for the text is Korean there may be a substituted space character, which could be causing justification and hyphenation issues (because of an Affinity bug).
