FluorescentTurban Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I use the Futura font in Affinity and have a kerning problem where the letter f "sticks" to the following letter while other letters work just fine. Ideas? Screenshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 That's an fi ligature, I believe, and font designers work extra hard to add features like that into their fonts to make them look better (I have no idea how you'd turn that off.)

Haha, I didn't even consider that it was intentional. Looks terrible IMO so perhaps someone knows how to disable it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You can turn standard ligatures on or off via the checkbox in the Typography dialog (accessed via 'Text > Show Typography') or via the button in the Typography section of the Character panel (accessed via 'Text > Show Character').
