Caspar Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The Garava Type v3.74 is © Bhikkhu Pesala, 2016, but freely available from his website. As it has 6 styles, 3000+ Glyphs and he designs with PagePlus in mind, I just downloaded it. To see what difference it makes, I applied it to an existinf PPlus file where it displays with a decorative set of capitals (top half of pic). If I just select it in LibreOffice, it displays "normally" (bottom half of pic). No doubt this is a quirk of a en-coding somewhere as the decorative caps are down in the "Latin Extended-D" specials, but can anyone throw light on why it's showing up in what I thought was a "standard" type text in a *.ppp but not in LibreOffice?

Caspar Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 You're right "Wiki entry:Support of OpenType optional features limited to localized forms (locl) " I'm still a bit baffled why PPlus X9 has decided to unilaterally (?) use an opentype extended-set character (substituting U+E2D1 for U+0054) for the capital "T" when something like OpenSans (with 10 styles) is still displaying correctly? Probably just another time-waster to find out why PPlus X9 is different? I'll stick to another font for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 PagePlus is acting properly...you may have the feature turned on in its OpenType features section. But if you would like Pesela to answer you...you are on the wrong forum. Go here and repost: https://community.serif.com/forum Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The CommunityPlus (CP) forums are completely separate from the Affinity forums. Please start a new thread on the CP forums, making sure to specify PagePlus X9 as the product and version. <pedantry> Like most of Bhikkhu Pesala's free Unicode fonts, the name 'Garava' ends in 'a', not 'an'. </pedantry> Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
