dtpunger Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Seems that the beta version has an issue with recognizing the font's internal kerning table when certain letters start a sentence at the text frame (see screenshot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi dtpunger Is it a particular font you get this with? I've compared with some other apps using various fonts and we are doing the same kerning as them Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpunger Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Sorry for replying so late. After clearing the font caches, this issue was solved. Cheers, Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpunger Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi, It's me again with that kerning stuff. Attached to this comment is a screenshot (Publisher Beta) with three lines. The first one is set in default, the third line was typed after activating the swash button in the typography panel. In the second line I wanted to change only two glyphs from default to swash, and exactly in this case the kerning will not be accepted. Crazy! Please beware that this issue also occurs in Affinity Designer and Photo (on the Mac)! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 What is the font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpunger Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 It's a fresh font of mine which I offered to MyFonts to make it public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I wouldn't consider it fresh as it is very heavily based upon Harold Lohner's Boomerang from the late 1990s/2000. That said, did you actually add the glyphs you identify as swash characters to the kerning table? Doesn't look like it. Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpunger Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sure I did, as you can see in the third line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtpunger Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Try any font with swash caps and you will see. It's not the fonts, it's an issue with the apps mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what did you do in the second line to get the swash caps that you have there? Do you, perhaps, need to select both the T and e (and H and e) in order to guarantee that the swash version of the kerning applies to that character pair? fde101 1 -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When selecting both swash cap and the following glyph the kerning pair will be recognized. Ralph walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Could be different side bearings for the swash glyphs versus their counterparts and if you are using kern classes then that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
