Hanging Punctuation

Is it possible already? If it is, I didn't found how.

I remember back in old FreeHand days we had the option to turn on the Hanging punctuation where all commas, colons, semicolons, periods, etc, would be placed outside the text box, allowing the text characters to align properly.

As it is now, we get this:

Hi Rui,

No, not possible yet. I believe it will become available with Affinity Publisher.

[rui_mac]

Great to know.

And, when it gets available in Affinity Publisher, the same code will be used throughout all application, becoming available in Designer and Photo also, right?

Would love to see this feature and other advanced typographic features added to Publisher/Designer/Photo, since I deal with type a lot. Cheers!

Hi Rui,

I think only relevant tools/features will be ported back to other apps. You will never see Raw development tools in Publisher to pick an extreme example. Presently I don't know which features will be available in which app, but we are still months away from Publisher's Beta. 

[rui_mac]

Yes, I do understand that.

However, I thought that the text engine could/should be consistent between all applications.

Yes, common features will work the same in all apps. They are all based on the same code. I just don't know if all text related features will be supported in all apps like flowing text between text frames in Photo for example...
