There are lots of problems typing Chinese

[CharlesW]

I am a Chinese user. I found three problems when I type Chinese in Affinity Publisher and Affinity Designer: (My English is poor. Sorry that my words may be difficult to understand.)

1. In Affinity Publisher, many redundant characters will be displayed. I show it in the video Problem 1, What I want to type is '王', but what is displayed is 'wwwawawanwangwang王'. In the video Problem 1 Right case, I show the right case with Affinity Designer.
2. This problem has been there in Affinity Designer for a long time. When there exists two paragraphs and I want to add some words in the first paragraph, the cursor will move unexpectedly. I have to relocate the cursor every time I type a word. I show it in the video Problem 2. The right case is showed in the pitcure Problem 2 Right case.
3. This problem has also been there for a long time. When I open some pdf files. Chinese words can not be displayed correctly. One example and the right case is showed in the picture Problem 3 and Problem 3 Right case.

Apart from these problems, Affinity Publisher also cannot meet what Chinese users needs. Many necessary functions are needed, like Vertical text, Setting up English fonts and Chinese font separately, and so on. I wish you can solve the problems and add for functions for Chinese users. Thank you.

I agree, and please add proper Japanese language support as well.

Hi CharlesW, welcome to the Affinity Forums.

Thanks for a very helpful first post. We do know there are issues with fonts that need to combine (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.) and that we have trouble with the IME word selection. I can't even get it to appear, even if I set my region and input to Chinese.

I'll pass your videos and feedback to the developers where we've already got these bugs reported.
