affi.usr Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Why Choosing right font combination is essence of graphic design. I think it should be enhanced on two field - basic filtering and font management (for Affinity Publisher). How Filters - user can filter available font by checking option like fx. Corel Draw did. If I looking Serif font to match used Sans Serif I simply check "serif". Option will use available font metadata, filtering by family, styles is base. Selecting by available chars / glyphs / letters / characters - is crucial for multinational support. It's saving time. When I use polish text letters like ą, ę, ł, ó, ź many times are not available in font. In place fx. ą is square or character from another font. It is not look nice. On this function is simple inputbox where I put my letter like "ą" and Affinity Designer / Affinity Photo show me only fonts which can view this char. Is a very simple and may be unique advantage (I don't find it in any application) Font presets - posibility set shortcut to prefered fonts. It's like most used fonts, but I choose fx. "kids stuff "- my preset and get drawing font to project for kids, and then when I change to "industry business" I have classic fonts. At some times last and most used fonts are not enough. It should be only global feature, because for one document text styles are enough. *Font management - install / deinstall font, font sites integration like Font Squirell - I'm not sure that should be part of AD / AP. I prefer here more sofisticated DTP app. I'll be think about font site integration for all Affinity apps, because in some place is very handy on creative desig if user looks for more unique typoghaphy.
