Milos Micatek Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hello. Is there an option in Photo and/or Designer to convert text to curves during opening of PDF file instead of finding substitute font? I have this kind of option in Canvas X but I cannot find similar feature in Affinity... maybe I am just blind...

As typeface designer I usually have the same font or very similar font in my portfolio (talking about comic book lettering fonts) so I am able to use it. Otherwise I will have to ask for the font my client which is not always possible to get it. OR retype the text and do all lettering again.

Can’t you ‘Convert to paths’ in Canvas X, export from there (to PDF or SVG, or whatever) and then open the result in one of the Affinity apps?

A_B_C Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The “Convert to Curves” option on PDF import actually doesn’t seem to be trivial to add: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/54165-pdf-import/&page=2&tab=comments#comment-276561 I agree that it would be wonderful to have it.

Well, theoretically yes, but I use Canvas X in my regular full-time job in automotive industry, not for comic book lettering (that is just my part time job) so it could potentially legal issue.
