RM f/g Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Looking for the multiplication sign in the glyp browser, I experienced some difficulty finding it. It appeared not to be in the group ‘Mathematic Operators’ but in ‘Latin - 1 Supplement’. Looking further I noticed that the plus sign appears to be in ‘Basic Latin’, but the minus sign in ‘Mathematic Operators’. Strange enough, to me at least, something similar with fractions: ¼, ½ and ¾ are in ‘Latin - 1 Supplement’, whereas ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞, ⅓ and ⅔ are to be found in ‘Number forms’. Is it possible to show glyphs not only in their ‘native’ group, but also in a ‘logical’ group? For example: the multiplication sign in the group ‘Latin - 1 Supplement’ and also in ‘Mathematical Operators’ (like InDesign does)? Would make them easier to find. Edit: Meanwhile I copied this topic to the Affinity Publisher forum, where it should have in the first place. You know: Designer / InDesign. Not the first time I clicked myself into the wrong direction.

Old Bruce Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think those classifications come from the font itself. Try with different fonts.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
