I just upgraded from 9 to 15 and this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen! Okay, add this new feature for the non-professionals BUT at least have a modifier key 'Shift + Control + Drag' or something...

Hahahahaa ... it must be a small amount of people that use Xara and are looking forward to Elite Dangerous. I went in at the Alpha level and at the time I had a dual core processor. And yes you need...

Someone that wants proper Open Type Support. It's really necessary in this day and age! People that don't think so don't understand how fonts have changed over the last 10 years.

And yes it...

Not Surprised

Adding flippin wingdings to it rather than fixing the type engine with is way behind the times and doesn't support opentype features ... then I'll keep my money too. I would have...

That's sort of counter-intuitive to my mind. If you don't have them installed how can you test them out to see if they look good with the project you're working on? Also by having all your fonts...

It all comes down to memory and whether you run 64-bit or not. Like Windows 7 can only access up to 4 gig. Have about 2 gig of fonts and you might have some problems with a few apps open. Windows...

So you have thousands of fonts installed on you computer and want to find a font really quickly. It used to be simple with dropdown because you could type it. But this is useless now because it...

... mine has to be crtl + W when using the Text Tool and you have text selected. Most helpful.

Glad that this topic has spurned a lot of debate and agreement. It's really the alternative letters as well which type designers seem to be really fond of throwing in these days into a single font...

So finally version 9 sorted out some font problems but today I read the MyFonts newsletter and my heart sank just a little again with my chosen piece of design software - Xara Designer obviously.

As far as I am concerned anyone who makes letterforms taller or shorted by changing the aspect ratio should be took outside, lined up against the wall and shot. If you want a taller font then get a...

My bad then. I jumped to assumption, didn't I? Just thought it was a bit odd really. I apologise and will continue to share my knowledge here. Still saving up the pennies for the new version - so I...

I thought the forum was called 'Talk Graphics' ... I know I'm new here ... but I thought this made interesting reading for people if they didn't know about how type works ... learning about new...

Decorative Typography ... as in graphic design with words in it. All typography is decorative. Or should be and there are certain letters placed together don't work ... let me give you an example 'i'...

One word:

Ligatures

No free upgrades for people wanting proper font support then? Now they've sorted it out???

But that's really the point, isn't it? Because you call it an improvement rather than a bug fix because then I'll have to pay for the software. I'm really annoyed to have to do this. VERY ANNOYED....

Missing feature. Are you joking? You're talking rubbish.

So you're using any other design piece of software. Even if you're using a word processing application. Or Point Point type programme....

I know ... because I've been using Xara since year dot ... like when the cover of the box was an MG B style red car and it was called Xara Studio. Yes that far back. And this has been the first...

Will wonders ever cease ... so they've sorted out that bug. So now I have to pay for the bug fix do I? I have to fork over money just to get something that's fixed?
