![]() So it's just Bembo Regular and Bembo SC that seem to have the problem. The really strange thing is that I can change to any other font I want to, and all of the problems disappear. And curly quotes disappear entirely, leaving the "blank character box." Other minor characters screw up, too, but these are giving me the biggest fits. Basically, several of the minor characters are messed up.īullets (option-8) turn into capital Ys with horizontal slashes through them. At any other magnification other than 100%, the on-screen errors match the printed errors. It looks and prints fine in Word or any other application, but when I copy it into Quark, that's where the fun begins.Īt 100% magnification, everything looks fine, but it never prints fine. The font is Bembo, which I bought recently from the online store. And I'm lost there.I hope I don't get shot for posting this here, and I'd be using InDesign if my publisher allowed it, but I'm having fits with an Adobe font in Quark XPress 4.1. It is off topic here, but since two days I try to understand the construction of layers/the function of the layers panel in AFPub. But rather often I have the impression that there are al lot of young, excited programmers at work, which think their own way – but it lacks of "old sacks" (practitioners) like me The client did not accept the other typesetting.Īll in all, on the one side I am excited about Serif and it's work! really. Not-sustainable or "automatic" font substituion is a very, very dangerous thing: The printing company my wife was working at had to re-print the total run of a softcover book because of unfortunate "font substitution". The font manager in AFPub is not a manager, but a means to see, which fonts are missing – but not to solve that situation basically. qxp, softwares which give you such a dialogue direct when openeing a document with fonts not available and asking "fonts are missing, by which other fonts you may want to replace them?". The find & replace dialogue was known to me, but thanks again to you! I think we are all spoiled by. After so many days having posted my thoughts here without answer, I assumed I've posted in a "dead" thread. Many thanks, xman, for your answer and your hint. ![]() ![]() And that can't be done with search&replace! If you have 340 pages of a book with ("fluffy" typeset) parental advices, you will get crazy. It is very urgent, that we have a dialogue to replace globally any font in a document by an other one (Helvetica Italic –> Helvetica Neue Italic MT Garamond Regular –> Palatino Regular). I think, the developers of AFPub should see not so much the "theory" about missing fonts, but the *praxis* of typesetters and graphic designers: In reading that thread about Font replacement, I got a real horror that I did wrong in deleting the Adobe Suite. (I know, there is an "extension" by markzware.)įurthermore 90% of my fonts from old days are Postscript Type 1 fonts – which are all lost because T1 is abandoned and has be replaced/substituted by. I am graphics designer since 25 years, and I have hundreds and hundreds of design files, which I saved in those weeks one by one as. In the last 4 weeks, I initialised a total move off Adobe towards Affinity Suite and Apple silicon. The menue item "Font Manager" is in fact NOT a *manager*, because no one can manage here fonts! It only shows what I am missing. I want to support with all I can do, that Affinity Publisher *needs urgently* a dialogue, which has rightly the name "Font Manager".
