Apple Characters are compressed in Papyrus 12

Papyrus Feedback & Suggestions
1

I have many documents written in Papyrus Author, mostly using Apple fonts such as New York or SF Pro.

When I open them in Papyrus 12 the characters in each word are badly compressed, making them almost unreadable.

Is there a way to import my Papyrus Author documents so that they remain readable?

Dear Leon,

Any updates please, or suggestions as to what I can do to get back to normal character spacing?

Kind regards,

Brian

We’re working on a fix right now. Papyrus 12 will soon support variable fonts. In the meantime, any font that’s not variable like the one’s you’ve been using should work fine. :slight_smile:

It’s very satisfying that Papyrus 12.02g now supports variable fonts. Papyrus has always had outstanding control over fonts and it was possible to print exactly what was on the screen.

I first came upon Paprus when it was the best word-processor for IBM’s OS/2 Warp in the late 90s. It has of course developed into the current amazing authors’ tool.
