    WYSIWY might GET - some panic involved

    This is totally bugging me out. I have a website in Designer 10 Pro. It looks fine inside the designer, but causes two problems when exporting it.


    1. On several pages I use the same line of text...

    Progress / Facepalm

    Just a little joke I whipped up for my personal webspace (http://bluez.home.xs4all.nl/datatalk/my%20success%20stories%202.htm#top):

    It was created using PhotoImpact (at least that's somewhat Corel...
  3. Xara license inconsistencies / reactivation costs

    (I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this, so mods please move it elsewhere if this is the wrong place.)

    The Xara license allows you to install and run it on ONE machine, and...
  4. Re: Beware the difference between Mobile Screen Resolution & Browser Window Resolutio

    Yep. I struggled with this as well. Two things to keep in mind:

    1. The browser reported px has nothing to do with the real resolution of the device.
    2. The variant displayed is the one nearest to...

    Re: Show us your desktop

    My wallpaper changes automatically, and as I wasn't very happy with existing wallpaper managers and the like, and I wanted to size, stretch, and match different kind of multi monitor setups...
  7. Re: Importing PDF's breaks WYSIWYG / add tables / pasting enhanced metafiles breaks f

    I guess we all have different expectiations of Xara :cool:

    But I actually don't use it much for vectors, I use it for about everything else, especially creating / preparing printed material...
  8. Importing PDF's breaks WYSIWYG / add tables / pasting enhanced metafiles breaks forma

    It's a pity there doesn't seem to be an easy way to support / create tables. (At least I could not find one.) Actually, this turns this into a dual post: please support tables, and improve PDF...
  9. Re: Google Gadgets and some other widgets under "Other Widgets" not working !

    Perhaps a good suggestion for the Xara team would be to make the 'help' or 'instructions' available in a separate window through each and every step. It's a bit silly to abort the process halfway to...

    Re: Font family / font alias support

    3. Allow the user to EXCLUDE embedded fonts

    Sim Hei, Sim Sun, and Yahei are pretty much 'default' fonts in Asia, and all browsers seem to have adequate (though often ugly) defaults for them. Why...

    Hmmm. Small addition: fonts are actually uploaded and downloaded, but browsers seem to have their own idea how to provide alternatives...

    Here's how I tested: I created a little page and added...

    Font family / font alias support

    Foreign and specialized fonts can be a pain in the *** when building a website. Not all browsers handle them well, not all platforms are equal.

    Some suggestions:

    1. Allow to user to specify...

    Re: Chinese fonts / Noto Sans S Chinese Regular

    I'm a bit worried that the only conclusion can be: don't use webfonts... I've attached an image that shows the results of different webfonts on different platforms. The results are somewhat......

    Re: Chinese fonts / Noto Sans S Chinese Regular

    Well, I can't turn ALL chinese text into graphics, but I almost might have to. There's something very wrong with Xara's webfonts., or just webfonts in general... I thought I had a solution using...

    Re: Chinese fonts / Noto Sans S Chinese Regular

    You're probably binding text to a graphic which causes Xara to export it as a graphic if I understood correctly. But I've got some more text incoming and didn't want turn everything into JPG / PNG...

    Re: Bridge in Japan

    Uploading seems to reduce the quality quite a bit. I already resized to 350 kB but the board turns it into a mere 130'ish kB. The original has way more nuance and feels almost dreamy without being...

    In effect Chinese isn't read left to right :-) It's read in whatever direction is convenient to the user! (Not kidding, left to right, right to left, and top to bottom may all occur! Not that I speak...

    Chinese fonts / Noto Sans S Chinese Regular

    First of all, I'm new to this forum, and somewhat new to Xara / Webdesigning. I'm NOT a pro, that's for sure, but I can cook up some graphics and whip up some pages, and in general ain't [I]too[I]...
