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! :-) William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

William Overington Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 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.

William Overington Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 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.

Guyon Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 It really doesn't matter when it actually goes live you have it now for free and get to pave the way to suggest how you want it to end up. I am VERY hopeful that we get Epub soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
