RVGK Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 No can do - text proprietary But there are many more instances in the pdf export The Insert command reads: "<NBHY>" Tried pasting a non-breaking hyphen from Nisus onto the Affinity hyphen but get - - (double dash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpixel Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) I can confirm this and it is super easy to reproduce: just insert a Non-Breaking Hyphen in an Affinity Publisher document and export a PDF. What you should get: You see the Non-Breaking Hyphen in the PDF. What you actually get: The Non-Breaking Hyphen is not visible, but instead an empty frame. Like the missing Glyph character. Sample files attached: The Publisher document and a generated PDF of it.

nodeus Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I confirm the problem. This problem also occurs when printing a document with Non-Breaking hypens from Affinity Publisher directly to printer. Quote designer butcher — nodeus.ru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t test this right now, but I expect that ‘Convert to Curves’ would work (and it would be my preferred method if it does).

Staff Gabe Posted July 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yep. That would work too. Completely forgot about convert to curves Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Instead of curved or rasterized text you possibly might prefer another solution/workaround: 1. With the relevant text selected activate the "No break" checkbox in Character Panel > Positioning and Transform. 2. Replace the Non-Breaking Hyphen with a normal. This way it appears to prevent a break, too but without getting the buggy boxes: Alfred and Stefanoc 2 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanoc Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Very nice workaround, thanks @thomaso thomaso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
