William Overington Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A couple of issues regarding the glyph browser. 1. It seems that to add into the document a character one needs to double click the character in the glyph browser. Fortunately I am alright with that, but some people can have a problem with double clicking. Whilst keeping double clicking for the convenience of many users, could you possibly add below the panel a button labelled "Insert selected character into text" that operates in parallel please, so that a user of the software may either double click or click the button as he or she chooses? 2. Today I was using a font that I made that has one and only one character in the Private Use Area. When I looked for that character under the All selection it was not displayed. Yet when I looked under the Private Use Area selection it was there. I have other fonts that I have made that have many character in the Private Use Area and those I have used in Affinity Publisher have the Private Use Area characters displayed with the All selection. Is this a bug? The font is attached. William italicizermaquette.otf Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

kenmcd Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I can see that "italic" character in the All list. It is Glyph 213. William Overington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Overington Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you for your reply. I checked again but it is not displayed for me. I am using Windows 10. Are you using Windows or a Mac please? As there are two different finding can some other readers check this please and report their findings in this thread, stating whether they are suing Windows or a Mac please?

William Overington Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you. I have now added that information. I was intending to post this to try it out, but I have since noticed that it has acted retrospectively on my previous posts already.

Which I have done as there are a few members who have extremely long signatures. Wosven and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn't help anyone viewing the forums on a small screen, as the responsive forum design omits the signatures. 2. You can hide specific user's signatures. It doesn't have to be all or none.

Yes for number 1. I usually peruse the forum using either phone or tablet. And switch to the desktop only to post screen shots or verify something. As for number 2, I chose to simply hide 'em all. Chalk it up to continuity of the viewing experience. Wosven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
