iPad <-> macOS font size discrepancy

[Adriaan]

Hey there!

When switching between Affinity Designer on iPad and macOS, the font sizes change, and it's quite ugly! I'm using the Damascus font. Screenshots attached. Am I doing something wrong here?

I opened font book and found that Damascus is originally a font for Arabic. Perhaps this has something to with the iPad and macOS version of Designer resetting to different default fonts when the characters aren't available?

Hi Adriaan

The Damascas font doesn't contain any Latin characters, so on the Desktop it is falling back to Lucida Grande, however this isn't on the iPad so it instead uses Apple Symbols.

Perhaps an item on the todo list then? -> Revert to the same font when symbols don't exist? Anyway, thanks for the clarification and the swift response!
