DJW77 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have a question if I may? On the IPad version of Designer, the Advanced Typography (Text Studio) options under the ‘OpenType’ menu don’t look or perform anything like your tutorial. In fact, the only options I have available are ‘Figure Positions’ and ‘Capitals’ which aren’t that exciting. Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks.

Alfred Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @DJW77. Some fonts have lots of OpenType features, but many have only a few and many more have none at all. Which particular feature(s) were you hoping to use? stokerg 1 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...
A_B_C Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 As Alfred indicated, this panel is dynamic, and the available options depend on the OpenType features implemented in the font you are using. Different fonts, different features available. Recently, I found an online resource to test OpenType features present in a font: https://fontdrop.info It says files are not uploaded to any server for executing the feature check, but I would use it only at your own risk (font copyright!). It is presumably safe to use the service with open source fonts. Alfred and stokerg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, if you have the font available in Affinity Designer you can test the OpenType features yourself!

A_B_C Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 LOL … that’s true, Alfred. But for the mistrustful among us it’s good to have a second source of information … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
