MikeTO Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 (edited) There's a problem with the calculation of hyphenation breakpoints for justified text when min/max letter spacing are set to non-zero values. Compare these two examples. The first paragraph of each is left aligned while the second paragraph is justified left. The left column has letter spacing of 0/0/0 while the right has 0/0/15. Affinity won't break the word "systematic" in the right column's justified paragraph. But it has the same desired letter spacing of 0 as the left aligned paragraph and the maximum value should play no role here. This isn't the way other apps with min/desired/max letter spacing work but it's this way in v1, too. I assume that it's spacing the characters to fit before checking for the hyphenation breakpoints instead of the other way around. break.afpub The same thing happens with soft hyphens and with minimum spacing which is how this bug was first reported in the thread below.

cgidesign Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 I originally posted this for V 2.6 beta but it is also broken in 2.4 and MikeTO now also mentioned V1. So it seems this never worked correctly. Tested on Windows in my case. MikeTO 1 Quote
