Bhikkhu Pesala Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In Affinity Publisher, the top of CapHeight of the Drop Capital is below the top of CapHeight of the Initial Word in All Caps. In PagePlus X9 the alignment is just about spot-on.

walt.farrell Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I see what you mean, @Bhikkhu Pesala, but for me it is highly font-dependent. Some fonts work just fine, others are off a little bit. Others are off significantly. I'm not sure if that's an issue with Publisher or the font definitions, and (unfortunately) I don't know enough about font design to know, nor do I have appropriate tools to try to investigate things like this. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the below screen shots, first from QXP (but is the same in the other layout applications I use) and the second from APub. Two different fonts and I tried several.

Bhikkhu Pesala Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Clearly a bug in Affinity Publisher. CapHeight is a metric that is known and line-spacing is known for any font. The Drop Capital size is incorrectly calculated.
