LuccasGreco Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I am trying to create a motivational quotes document but I can't seem to find a good quote symbol. I have tried looking at all the available fonts but I can't seem to find a good quote symbol. Quotes like the ones below... I know I can just use those but affinity should already have this, it would make it a lot easier to edit colors and etc. Quote

If you’re referring to the available fonts on your computer, try wordmark.it: copy the “curly” quotes from this post and paste them into the box on the linked page.

v_kyr Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Or as an alternative in AD use the rect and donat tools to make your own (add/combine layers then), you can scale and form it as you like. gdenby 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
