How can I fix problem with Glyphs panel?


Recommended Posts

I have been a calligrapher for many years but I'm quite new to graphic design. My client's daughter wants to purchase my Viking-themed invitation suite. Client said the wedding has a Game of Thrones theme and the beginning of the invitation says, "Winter is coming". I thought I would show her what the invite would look like with Trajan Pro instead of the "Norse" font I usually use for these. I fired up Affinity Designer and started to work. I opened the glyphs panel to see if there were any "extras" I could use. At this point I did something. I don't know what but now when I use Trajan Pro the upper and lower case A is not on the baseline. It is smaller and aligned with the top of the space, not the bottom. The same thing happens with O also. It looks more like the degree symbol.

Any ideas on what I did and how to fix it? It only does this in Affinity. I used Trajan Pro in Microsoft Word and it's just fine.

It sounds what happens when Ordinals are turned on in the Typography or Character panel for a text block or character run. In the Character panel, look for the button labeled 1st in the Typography section & make sure it is not enabled. In the Typography panel, make sure Ordinals is not ticked.

Either one should return the a's & o's to their normal default forms.
