Typography superscript not working (1.7.0.4)


Recommended Posts

Not a bug, probably, @osang

The Typography settings only apply to a subset of characters implemented by the font. Positioning and Transform should work for all characters, as it's handled by Affinity, not the font. But the results may not be as good as Typography can provide for the characters provided by the font.

Strange, but in Designer 1.61, same setting and font, the superscript is working.

Interesting. Might be one of the areas where 1.7 changed. Or, might be a bug :)

The explanation for this is the new implementation of the superscript and subscript function. Have a look here:

You will always have to use Character Panel > Positioning and Transform > Superscript to have “fake” superscripts when the respective glyphs are not in the font. The standard Arial typeface that comes with macOS doesn’t have them.

Cheers, Alex :)
