cpoh Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi Affinty, for some versions now i cannot get the dropcaps working as intended (at least in my case ;-)) What happens (on a newspaper layout i created from scratch - used this for years in InDesign): - got a 5 column layout with a baseline grid - write an article in a textframe, activate dropcaps (in the paragraph portion of the studio) - Dropcaps set to 3 lines - works a intended (starts at line 1 and is 3 lines high) - now activate "align to baseline grid" (also in paragraphs) - nothing else is changed, just activate "align..." - suddenly the same dropcap is 5 lines high with an additional empty line above it (making it 6 lines total) Am i missing something here? This keeps bugging me, as it would be an essential feature for my work with newspaper layouts. Thanks for any advice, Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi Carsten, I may need yo to provide me an example file that shows this for me to look into. Are there any other specific attributes applied to the text? Are you using a particular font or have any custom spacing values? I've tried this here in 174 and the drop cap always stays at the height of 3 lines of text even when adjusting the baseline grid Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpoh Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi Chris_K, thanks for getting back to me. i did setup a paragraph text style that i use. Its font is Adobe Caslon pro. There are no custom spacings defined, pretty much everything is default. Greetz, Carsten testpage_180914_v03.afpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
