    I'm doing a monthly book project this year and just finished my third, fully made with the Affinity suite.

    I have to say after 15 years of DIY publishing with Adobe, I don't miss it at all after 15 weeks.

    There are a few things with Publisher that still were just easier with Adobe - changing the shape of text boxes, updating linked files when things get moved around in folders... but these I'm sure will be updated in time.

    The only part I haven't figured out yet is the font menu, which includes a ton of system fonts that Adobe never did / seemed much more integrated to my font management. When I know what font I want it isn't the biggest deal, but browsing through a menu can be a necessary evil and it's basically impossible on Publisher.

    • I don't have it open right now, and haven't played too much with it yet anyway, but can you not simply search for the font by typing it into the dropdown?Continuity
    • I think they listen to users, so you should bring it up on their forums and try to push it into their roadmapESKEMA
    • I really hope they release a font management program at some point.i_monk
    • @continuity, sure, but sometimes I just like looking at the menu and seeing my options, and a zillion fonts I didn't know exist show upcolin_s
    • @eskema i am going to once i update to the new release and spend some time w/itcolin_s
