ChrisRafferty Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Has anyone been able to get Swashes working? I can see the button, but clicking on it has no effect. Same for Character Variants and Stylistic Sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted November 2, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey Chris, welcome to the Affinity Forums. It looks like this might not have been fully implemented yet. On Windows it seems completely greyed out whereas on the Mac the buttons appears enabled but doesn't even toggle. I'll query this with the developers and see where we're at with it.

MikeW Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm using Windows and the .157 update. Any font I have that actually has a swash OpenType feature works as expected with one exception so far. The one observed issue is that no words beginning with a cap letter, nor that has a cap letter within a word, that has a swash character is swapped out for the swash variant. In other words, cap letter swashes are broken. lowercase characters that are defined in a swsh feature are working. Mike Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you name a few fonts that were working and what words you were typing? We were primarily trying words like 'Queen' so perhaps this is why we didn't see it. The font we used was EB Garamond as I know this works in PagePlus.

MikeW Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi Chris, OK. I am incorrect in my first post...sort of. If I use a font that has the swsh feature that has the swash characters in the PUA, then all swashes work. If I use a font that does not have the swash characters defined in the PUA, then only lowercase swash characters work. I am using the fonts: SwashingtonCP. This font has all swash characters defined in the PUA. Hollie Script Pro. This font has all swash characters in non-encoded slots. If you would like, I can upload a ZIP of a test document and the two fonts. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted November 2, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey Mike, Thanks for checking. It looks like the buttons in the Character Panel don't work (for us) but if you click the ... to display the Typography Panel, we have more success as we can enable the swash. I only tested the Q in Queen though. If you could do that for us, that would be brilliant—thank you.
