Here's another thing: the latest version of Inkscape (an open source drawing app) actually does have full support of OTF Variable Fonts. BTW, I have both the Windows and iPad versions of Affinity Designer. Back in the 1990's it was a similar difference between plain Postscript Type 1 fonts versus Type 1 Multiple Master, or the TrueType GX format on Macs back in the 1990's. OTF Variable is NOT the same as regular OpenType. There is no OpenType VARIABLE Font support in Affinity Designer 1.9. You're a newbie to this forum and it appears you came here for the sole purpose to push Affinity Designer rather than contribute anything productive in this discussion thread.Īs to my comments about type support you need to go back and re-read my comment about the kinds of fonts Affinity Designer can and cannot support. Don't use Illustrator, use Affinity Designer. I am not debating that PDF wasn't a huge innovation "back then." I am offering a solution to the original poster's issue. Plus it has pixel editing capability and can export web graphics far better. The brush tools are far better than Illustrator. The only thing Illustrator can do that Designer can't is making charts.
In fact, it is better for illustration work than Illustrator is. I'm telling you that it has 95% of the functionality I need that Illustrator has. You are the one that TOLD me that I clearly don't want to use Designer.
Whether Designer doesn't have the functionality YOU need is also irrelevant. Whether that is intended or no is irrelevant, because if other apps can do it then Adobe's apps should be able to, as well. Or Illustrator which breaks up text blocks and puts everything in clipping masks.
Unlike InDesign, which can't open PDFs at all. I am making a statement that Affinity apps can open PDF files and let you edit them as if they were actual files. You seem to be getting defensive for some reason.
