Is there a date for Publisher going gold/launch?

Funnily enough, I thought of that one too! It could even be Williamina, although (like Davidina) it’s probably not very common outside of Scotland.

Ah, I had never known of the name Williamina, so I had not considered that.

If it is Scottish, someone could have moved to elsewhere! :-)

I have recently come back to this thread and now, having had a few fun posts, back to the analysis.

I have made a test font, installed it on my computer, and produced a PDF using PagePlus X7.

I then tried reading the PDF into Affinity Publisher, and it worked well.

I then deleted the font from the Fonts directory and tried again. Utter chaos!

However when I tried again choosing to substitute a font from the same collection, though not the one from which the test font was derived, it works fine.

Here is a link to the font that I used as the substitute font.

www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/SONNETRL.TTF

Perfectly legal to download and use it as it is my font and I give you permission to do so.

The observable difference from the font used in the PDF is the lowercase letter 'w' so that is a good test. The metrics are the same.

Can anyone get sensible text by importing the PDF with some other unrelated font used as the substitute font?

I still have the font in another folder.

Here is the PDF.

I put the above in the wrong thread. I am now trying to copy and paste it to the correct thread, but have not been able to copy it off the page for some reason.

Any ideas please?

Ah, I was trying to copy it off the page. First opening the edit facility helped.

Eventually I got it into the other thread.

After several unsuccessful tries I found that using right click, then 'Select all' and then pasting to WordPad and then copying form there to the other thread did the job, though I did need to break it into paragraphs. But it got there and I hope that it is of interest.

I tried to add a Thank you symbol but I have found that I had used up my allocation for today some time ago!

Thank you.

I am VERY  hopeful that we get Epub soon.

I would be surprised if epub shows up before 1.7.1, and not particularly surprised if it was not there by 1.8.

Generating reflowable epub from a page layout program is likely to be very non-trivial, and fixed-layout epub is easy to convert to from pdf using various free utilities that are out there, so while I do expect they will eventually support at least fixed-layout epub as an export format, I think they have bigger fish to fry right now.
