Hi soundofnature,

 

I do not have Bodoni ornaments font, only Bodoniclassicornamentspdf and other fonts like PTBaroque Borders that display only ornaments or borders as their respective names indicate. These are special fonts that do not display "classical" characters.

To put the text in small capitals or fully in capitals, expand the "Text" tab in the top bar, click "Shift" and select the desired function.

There are two versions of Bodoni Ornaments installed on my iMac, one identified in Font Book with the unique name "Macromedia Fontographer 4.1.3 Bodoni Ornaments ITC TT" & the other "Bodoni Ornaments; 10.0d1e1; 2014-04-17." Both are Copyright 1995‐1997 International Typeface Corporation, have 126 glyphs, & are TrueType fonts.

 

With either of them enabled, they work fine with Affinity -- typing upper or lower case alphabetic characters, numbers, etc. on the keyboard produces an ornament. In fact, surprisingly enough even if I enable both of them at the same time, intentionally producing a font conflict, selecting "Bondi Ornaments" from the font list in Affinity still works.
