I'm a developer/designer/typographer. I have more than a passing interest in #Roxette. Some would call it an obsession, but I don't.

Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."

@mjtsai It’s bugs like these that made me abandon Mail, iTunes/Music, Safari, Books, and other Apple apps so far.

@ListenBrainz Wow. This is a version of what happened to me five years ago. iTunes mangled my carefully curated metadata and stripped all custom artwork. It took me seven weeks to extricate my library to FLAC files hosted in Plex, and over the next few years Jellyfin, and finally Navidrome. Picard has been a major part of this, and it also inspired me to make many contributions to MB. Thanks.

@eWalthert @fontspectrum This is embarrassing, but it seems I misremembered. You were also in those threads, but it was about the kerning of variable fonts not a VF axis. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/204670-variable-fonts-kerning-broken/ and https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/226531-variable-fonts-kerning-still-broken/
Variable Fonts: Kerning broken

It seems the kerning values of the default master are applied to all axis positions, so variable fonts support is not there yet 🙂 (2.5.2.2478)

@eWalthert @fontspectrum When we reported the original issues with some axes, it took a few months (with example fonts supplied to them) to fix it, but it did get fixed in the end. I think the Affinity dev team is much smaller than we imagine, so things do tend to take some time especially when certain issues have higher priority.

@ronanmcd @eWalthert In the app you can link the Canva account to your Affinity account so that old purchases become available.

@RetypeFoundry I did a double-take when I saw this. It looks like it could be the brutalist cousin to my more rounded Art Disco font which started from a very similar place. https://barry.mieny.com/fonts/art-disco.html
