Character sheet in Publisher

[Overmind]

Hello,

I have no idea what's its real name in inDesign in English, but what it looks in the attachment.

For character language (Japanese, Chinese, etc.) user, it's hard to figure out every space occupied for different character.

With this function, I can make sure every character is in that square, then composing.

I didn't find this function in Publisher's tutorial or F&Q, did I miss something?

Or I wish there could be this function in Publisher, thank you.

Hello and welcome to the forums @Overmind

I may wrong, but I think you mean the Glyph Browser. You'll find them under menu Windows-> Text in the Programme.

Edit:

OK, I'm wrong! There is no character sheet. Under menu View you find Grid & Axis. I think that's what you looking for.

Thank you sir,

What I mean is those empty squares background.

For example, I put one character in X=10,Y=10, but it could be X=10.2,Y=10 when I put another character in that text box.

With those empty squares I can put all characters precisely in X=10,Y=10.

Sorry that my answer can't help you, as I'm not familiar with InDesign and don't know the function.

Maybe someone like @MikeTO has a better answer for you.

Affinity doesn't have CJK composition features yet. For now, two possible workarounds are:

• a table with no border or fill
• a text frame with many narrow columns.

I know these aren't great alternatives, but for now they're the best you can do.

Cheers
