Mark Ingram Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This is the problem I am having. Whenever I go to choose a font when editing text, Affinity Designer crashes. Will the next update for Affinity Designer Windows beta address this issue? It sounds like you might have a font installed which Affinity has a problem with. We have fixed a crash in this area, but other font's might have similar problems. Have you installed any new fonts recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsawan79 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi John, it looks like you have Aero disabled, unfortunately we don't support installations where Aero is disabled (you should have got a warning when you started the application), as it uses a different graphics driver which can cause rendering problems and severe performance problems. Hi Mark, Its actually affinity that's disabling the aero, it ussually behaves like this when launching the app & open a new document at first its giving me a black workspace then when I open again a new document & select option for transparent then it disables aero. Also showing tool cursors are offset to where they should point to. And in addition, when this issue occurs I'm not able to re-anable the aero again & requires me to at least logoff to revert & enable my laptop's aero. https://www.facebook.com/john.constantin.sawan/videos/1180067885347546/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted July 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi People, I'm using version 1.5.0.4 and It's amazing !!! But I have some problems with special characters in pt-br (Brazilian). Some combinations doesn't work well. Example: "~" + "ao" should be ão, but shows like ~ao or ~ão Occurs the same with "^", "´" and "`". But, when I write on Textpad/Notepad and copy/paste into AD, all shows ok. Thats it. See the printscreen here. Hi all, I wonder why I can not write characters with accents in the text. Thank you very much. There is a known issue with Affinity in the current build. It should however be fixed in the upcoming 1.5.0.5 build due this week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afodfrea Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi, despite i just updated to 1.5.0.4 i still do not have icons on "Tools". I even uninstalled and removed the folder which includes user settings. I'm using Windows Insider Preview, build 14366. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi afodfrea What language is you OS? I believe this is due to there not being full translations in the app, so hopefully it will be sorted soon Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted July 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 6, 2016 https://toster.ru/q/333360 when you press the divide all lines just disappear, I would say even removed. Boolean operations only work with closed shapes - this is also the case in Illustrator when trying to use the 'Divide Pathfinder' option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afodfrea Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi afodfrea What language is you OS? I believe this is due to there not being full translations in the app, so hopefully it will be sorted soon It's English US as the display language and Turkish as the keyboard. If the icon problem is related to translations, i think mine is bit of an odd situation. :) Edit: My time "Format" under the Control Panel > Region > Formats was Turkish so i suppose that was the reason. Btw it was not just the "Tools" icons, i realized a lot of graphics were missing when i changed that setting to English US. For example: splash screen was also not showing, just the version number.

moth3r Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Is there any chance to save grid preferences in the next build? I tend to work on the dark background so this is really cumbersome to set every time. Especially because of crashes. Sure its beta but it would be super duper if that gets fixed in 1.5.0.5. Thanks! www.moth3r.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmanvebs Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi,Just noticed, when you trying to change UI gamma it's not working if you didn't opened or created new document, so changes applies only when document is opened/created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi, Thanks for the update! I really love Affinity Designer, BUT, I'm having incompatibility problems with my Wacom Intuos tablet. the tablet buttons and pen buttons don't work. I've customised the buttons for Affinity Designer in my Wacom tablet properties, but they don't actually work in AD - they just crash the program. It would be great if the tablet buttons could work with AD, because at the moment, as much as I love it - I end up going back to Illustrator, because my Wacom buttons work there and i can work faster without needing the keyboard. Hope it's something that can be fixed! Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsawan79 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi John, that is very odd. Do you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card? HI Mark, found the last driver for my graphic card it works ok now, the issues regarding the tools were ok as well... only issue remaining is the somehow sluggish behavior when selecting tools as well as manipulating shapes...

sahua Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Works fine for me: Win 8.1 But I'm disappointed in a brush drawing: it didn't read well the pressure level from my Intuos Pro. Light strokes are ignored, hard looks harder just a bit. Comparing to Illustrator it's a really big difference :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveE Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Andy et al, Just downloaded 1.5.0.4 on Win10 Home and it fires-up OK thanks. As far as I've seen so far it is stable and operating as expected. One question however - how to make a text box frame visible and/or fill it with a background colour? I'm clearly missing the obvious on this one! Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
