mfarooqi Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Finally we got it what we've been waiting for.. Thank you Affinity. On the first start I found some visually issues. Like the UI font's are too pixelated in windows 10. I've used both AP and AD on mac, but downloaded this Publisher on Windows as trial. please check the screenshot I attached, the left is Photoshop and on the right Publisher. I didn't check any performance or functional thing. this was the first thing I found apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWu Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Text doesn't look like that on my pc. You're sure you didn't turn off anything font related in the windows settings. Or driver settings?

mfarooqi Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am using windows 10 with a GPu Nvidia 870 I don’t think there is anything related to fonts settings in the control panel or anywhere. if this could be the case then why Adobe is showing the fonts very smooth but not the affinity. is there any option that could we can change the application level fonts. By the way which font affinity is using for user interface , maybe my system is missing that specific font so that’s why this pixelation is appearing ? This is so then this shouldn’t be installed by the application by itself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 In your Windows Display settings, there should be a Scale setting if some kind, with values like 100% or 125% or 150%, etc. What do you have yours set to? -- 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...

mfarooqi Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 look at another image.. rendering of fonts is fine, like all fonts in fonts list is smooth, because that is loading "actual installed" fonts..., similarly the text written on document "Affinity Publisher" is smooth too.. but the font used in UserInterface is blasted.. (please see this image as 100% view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted September 10, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 10, 2018 Affinity Publisher is a WPF application and follows the normal text drawing for such applications according to the type of display that they are on. As I understand it WPF will use ClearType unless the framework determines that the user has disabled it. Have you disabled ClearType option in your display settings?
