Tia Lapis Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Affinity simply currently does not care for complex script support. Probably economic reasons. Asking again and again won't change that.

Rename is Berlin, Ontario to Kitchener Ontario. Kolkata is just Calcutta spelled differently, but when Beijing was romanized as Peking or Peiping it was pronounced differently, too. (Beijing should be pronounced ‘bay-JING’ but it’s often mispronounced as ‘bay-ZHING’.)

Tia Lapis Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Perhaps it's from english being only second language. In german there is a really big difference between the 2 words. Possible that I never spoke it correct.
