Auto Hyphenation

[viridissima]

Dear Affinity Team,

I love your program and still use the 10 days trial version. As I often work with Text - used illustrator for many years - I need a auto-hyphenation tool.

 

Do I just not find it or is it not included in the Affinity designer?

And if not - are there any plan implementing it?

 

Thanks for your reply.

Hi viridissima,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

No, this wasn't implemented but may come in a future version, probably with the introduction of Publisher.

My vote too for a hyphenation feature. 

[chekka]

I am really amazed. I never thought AD did not have this feature.

Please give it to us soon!

There are quite a many languages it should support...

This is why we have been patient. But we don’t want to wait for another year.

I would like to add: if the program is going to give you the ability to justify text on both the right and left margin, auto-hyphenation is really a big deal. It feels unfinished.

 

p.s. It's amazing what you've done with a $50 dollar program. I bought Affinity Photo mostly just to support you efforts. I would like to forget that Adobe existss.

Be aware that Affinity will use soft hyphens if you add them manually.

[Slayman]

upvote this. not having hyphens is really slowing me down.

Does not work with your “Insert Filler Text”. So not useful to present professional typography. Will there be more options very soon?

[Fixx]

Filler text does not behave like normal text anyway.

Soft hyphens are very useful in creating professional typography, it is just that hand tuning text is time consuming and autohyphenation would save a lot of time. That is, if your designs have a lot of text. AD is meant for short documents so soft hyphens are ok-ish.

There is no ready shortcut for soft hyphen which is weird as it is used a lot. I set it to be alt+cmd+-

Hi there!

I just made another suggestion to add Auto Hyphenation in Affinity Designer ...

 

 

 

I hope AD will listen to us soon!

Cheers!

I subscribe, it is very important to have auto hyphenation in Designer, its absence penalizes it too much...

Up that! Dear Affinity, please please add auto-hyphenation to Affinity Designer! It is one of the very few last reasons for anyone to use Illustrator. This, and image tracing

 

Cheers,

Thank you @Jan Osa Totally agree... you might be interested in supporting this request as well. Best!

It is available in Publisher.  Serif chose to intentionally omit this from Designer.

You can open your Designer projects in Publisher to enable hyphenation, and it will still be present when you take the project back to Designer (if you need to do so).
