I upgraded from CorelDraw 12 to X5 when I upgraded from XP to Windows 7. I thought I transferred all my fonts to the new system. But often when I open old CorelDraw 12 files, X5 tells me that fonts are missing and it offers substitutes which really screw up the document. The fonts it says are missing tend to be fonts I have never heard of! The latest is Centaur.
If I do a search for 'Centaur', a copy of my old system's AdobeFnt.lst comes up, as well as AdobeSysFnt08.lst and AdobeFnt05.lst (I have parts of my old HD on my E:DATA/ drive). I don't know how to open them or how they got to the old disk. Should these be in some way incorporated into my X5 files? Is Centaur a font that used to be in CorelDraw and no longer is? By the way, I have the boxed version, so it should have all the fonts.
I tried Nexus font (finally) and don't see why people have mentioned it. I don't like it and uninstalled it quickly.Which font manager do you think is better than Font Nav?
I had posted in another thread about wanting to clean up a signature and make it look more font like. I tried that and it seemed to be pretty difficult due to the amount of random in a hand written signature.
So I think I'd like to approach this from the other direction. I have a font I like but I don't want it to look like the font (way too common). Is there a way to alter the font (not the entire font set or even to create a new font but just for a one word Logo)?
I'd ideally like to connect two of the letters and also modify the shapes of the letters just a bit.

I have added this code to display how the font looks (shown below). But notice i have text font set aside. How do i get my test font to display in the "display box" and/or have my font change as i scroll through the list of fonts. I realize corelx6 kind of does this - but it doesn't allow me to single out fonts.
My vertical font spacing changes on its own from time to time.
Created a template where my font space was 100% and all looked well and positioned correctly. Used the template to create a few thousand files over 6 months. Then opened the template and some of the files I created and found the font was spaced out more than usual. Somehow Corel interpreted my font spacing differently. I checked the font file and it was the same date/time as before.
I changed the template to 92% to bring it down to the required "correct" position and gradually "fixed" all the files i had created to the 92% spacing. After 6 months or so, I opened the template and a few of the files that had been created using the 92% spacing and all were "squished"... oi.. i changed the template back to 100% and began the long haul changing each of the created files to 100%.
Now i just checked and the spacing is too squished and if i change it to 110% vertical, it appears spaced correctly.
I havent changed the version of corel. I havent changed the computer. I havent changed the font (still the original one from the original source file). I reloaded the font using the original source file several times for kicks and it still requires the 110% spacing to be positioned correctly.
I'm only using one one color print and I need to put a '''ballerina" hole in a big fat "D". How do I turn the ballerina into a hole? The letter "D" is pink and I of course can put her on the top layer of the "D" but how can I make her a hole?
I'm trying to install the EPS font file in Corel Draw X6 and can't seem to get it to work. The Font Navigator can't find the font and the "Install EPS" function in CDX6 just dumps an image of the whole font into whatever I'm working on.
I am running x6 on windows 7 64 bit. Recently Corel has started displaying (font not found) next to some of my fonts. When I open Bitsream Navigator it shows that the fonts are installed and in use. I have also checked and made sure that the fronts are installed on the computer itself.
A few weeks ago, the font list suddenly consolidated font families. Unfortunately, it is awkward and time consuming to run through 30 weights of Future before I find the one I need. How to get rid of the consolidation and put it back the way it was? I have installed Update 4.
I work with Corel X6 and Beatstream Navigator on regular basis. During start and save Corel & Beatstream make changes inside Windows system font (In my case Sagoe UI) and compromise it's usage for Adobe Photoshop CS6.
It's crash core menus and banners inside PS6.
Problem go away if you uninstall Bitstream Font Navigator.
Is there any other newer type manager or any other solution to solve this problem?
I put corel draw x3 on a new laptop with window 7 and the bitsteam font navigator will not work. Well actually it worked once, then when I went to add more fonts (find fonts) it just freezes up. I have uninstalled and re installed it and still have same problem. Never had this problem on windows xp.
I have a font I use all the time and have for years (Myriad Pro). When I create a new text object and then select the font from the list the text object disappears and the resize handles goes really small.
While mousing over the font the text appears:
However when I select that font this happens:
The object still appears in the object list not clearly no characters are showing. Nothing shows in Wireframe mode as well.
I've deleted the fonts and installed them again and still occurs. Only on this one font family.
In CorelDraw X5 the tool What The Font acts very strange on my dual screen setup. My display shifts left, and I cannot draw a selection around the text as my mouse pointer goes out of sync with my screen.
I have a dual screen set up. Using a Dell 23" LCD running at 2048 x 1152 as my main display, I have a second 19" monitor running at 1440 x 900, so two different screen resolutions. The 19" monitor is located to the left of my main monitor, both a running on DVI ATI Radeon graphics card.
We get .eps files from a customer and the fonts have been converted to "outlines" or "curves". This one font they used is Avant Garde Condensed and whenthe lowercase letters "f" and "i" are used together like in the word "fish" are connected together with no dot over the "i" (see attachment).
My question is this:
Is this supposed to look this way (see attachment) is this some sort of special character in the Avant Garde font family? Or is this some sort of freak accident caused by converting fonts to outlines?
I am looking into making TTF file creation from CorelDRAW a little easier. If I record a macro of exporting a single character I get the very basics - just a filename and all it does is pop up the export window where one needs to select the character, set the size, etc. Rather time consuming and awkward.
is there a way to automate this? Just set which character is being saved, set the size and so on? Unfortunately the ExportOptions and ExportFilter structures seem to be basically undocumented (or I don't know how to find their options).
I am new to Corel Draw. How do I arc font? I have a customer that wants some writting arced above her logo and below her logo. The only way I know how is to creat a circle and "Fit Text To Path". But then I can't seem to delete the circle without erasing the writting as well.
I'm using CorelDraw x6 for a while and I haven't got any issues with it by now. Today I've open one of my files and some of the texts was missing (the one with font "Trajan Pro". First I thought that my file is broken (it wasn't). My second thought was that there is something wrong with the font (if this is possible), I've replace it with still no change.
Every time when I change a text with this font it disappears from the screen. I can see the preview, When I mark it as a text I can still see it. But when I point some where else on the screen it is gone. See the pictures.
I do not know is the problem with Corel Draw, but everything was working just fine by now, and Now I can not use this font any more for some reason.
If I create some text and change it from the default size (24 pt) to 14 pt and then rotate it, the size changes to the default point size (24 pt, I have even seen it do ~17.54)
I have to do an online pdf report for a customer. But when I made the pdf through publish to pdf option the font looks jagged. The header is Kozuka and for the body calibri. I tried various options but results are the same.
When converted to outline it looks fine the jagge dends disappear, but cann't edit.
