    Re: Font support lost

    Thanks. I still wonder why it no longer works, when it has for years : (

    It looks like the solution will have to be to switch to another typeface, though. Palatino Linotype looks nice.

    Thanks...

    Re: Font support lost

    No - I changed to Polish (it seems to be selectable separately for each text element), but it did not restore the proper appearance, even after closing and re-opening the file.

    What list of fonts...

    Re: Font support lost

    Thank you for that. I wasn't aware of that feature. So it is done at a text-element level, not a document level?

    Alas, it did not fix my problem : (

    Re: Font support lost

    Thank you, Acorn

    You mention that you "switched the document language to Polish". That sounds promising, but I do not know quite what you mean. Is language selection a thing you can do in Xara? ...

    Font support lost

    I have a series of maps of Eastern Europe, in which many place names use the Polish barred "L" (ł). The labels are in Centaur typeface, and they have always displayed fine, until now. Today, that...

    Re: Custom lines

    Thanks for the tutorial, Larry. How you create your track shape is clear enough, but there is no brush...

    When I use your shape to create a brush I get the same error I did earlier with...

    I was speaking to you, Wizard. I expected the forum platform to nest responses - that it doesn't makes the conversation a little hard to follow. Now I know.

    Re: Custom lines

    Handrawn, that looks really promising, but I can't quite make it work. I can use your brush, but when I try to create a new brush from your base graphic, even without any modification, and then use...

    More like this than...?

    Sorry about my image not working - it should have shown something similar, but with the equal-length "sleepers" equi-spaced. Yes, if you could give me a .xar (and any...

    Re: Custom lines

    That looks like just what I am after, but what is a scatter brush? There is no mention of it in my help. Is it a later feature? It might be time for me to upgrade at last : )

    Custom lines

    I could really use a custom line style (my own "novel" design, if you like), but my experiments to date have not been successful.

    I am drawing maps, and want to represent railways with a solid...
