Jonopen Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (1.5.0.15) I’m probably showing my typographical (and mathematical) ignorance here, but I was wondering if the character following the percentage symbol in the character panel was intentional, and if so what it means? It’s also shown in the help file graphic, but I didn’t notice an explanation. v2.5.3 Designer/Photo/Publisher | Mac mini (M1, 2020) | Sonoma 14.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted September 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hi Jonopen, Yes, it's intentional and it means per mille. Tracking and kerning are measured in 1/1000 of an em (like in Adobe apps). Related thread here. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonopen Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Great thanks very much both. It's good to know that Affinity Designer has that level of fine control. I learn something new everyday. :) v2.5.3 Designer/Photo/Publisher | Mac mini (M1, 2020) | Sonoma 14.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
