Fonts refuse formatting with the typography panel


Recommended Posts

Hello out there!

I've just come across a strange phenomenon: I'm currently designing an event poster, which of course includes time specifications. I'm doing this with the "Typography" panel by formattoing "superscript" of the minutes. (10/superscript: 3 pm).

But it won't work! Superscript etc. everything is ignored.

After some tinkering, I now realize that there are only a certain fonts in my system (Calibri, Bagdat ...) that accept the formatting. In other cases the buttons for formatting are greyed out. 😱

Maybe it has something to do with UTF or something similar? Where is the point to “repair” this? Or does it have to do with the fact that Affinity only accepts certain font types? However, I no longer use Type 1 fonts.

Mac OS 13.6.9
Affinity Suite 2.5.5

Thanks for help from Germany

Many thanks, "Lacerto"! We all knew, that you are one of the most skilled members here concerning "the secret knowledge" about the furthest cornes of the panels : )

This I did'nt know. Has something changed in the structure of the panels as a result of updates, or has it always been like this? I have been typesetting books and commercial work with Affinity for years...

Thanks alot!

In v.2.5 (.3? IIRC), appeared the Typography panel instead of a modal dialog, but commands were not changed.

I apologise for any approximations in my English. It is not my mother tongue.
