Chris26 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hallo, Coming from Adobe creative suite after many years, especially photoshop and indesign I was so happy to stumble upon Affinity. Really excited by these guys at Serif. Anyway, I have a large indesign project which I need to re-create completely in Affinity publisher, and a minor part was copying some hebrew text (NewPeninimMT) and Adobe Caslon Pro font into Affinity. I did not expect them to display and expected the hebrew to give me a whole load of boring squares as is usual in other pieces of software and in indesign when I first tried it many years ago. But it displayed perfectly. The font box, however, did insert a question mark before the font name. The font list in affinity did not have either of these fonts and neither does my microsoft system, there are none stored at this time. Strange that it displayed at all.

Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi Chris26, and welcome here … What you describe is due to automatic glyph substitution. There has been a little discussion about this feature in a recent thread, in case you are interested. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/69274-glyph-substitutions-must-be-highlighted/ Cheers, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
