Adding bold to font in XXP4

[standay]

Yes is was a deliberate decision to remove this feature, or rather I should say to fix a serious problem.

Some may not like it. Many did not like the way it was before, and will prefer the new system. I believe it was the right decision.

Count me as one who does not like it to the point of cancelling my upgrade to v4 a few minutes ago. I have too many files to maintain with "synthesized" fonts in them and I don't want to add outlines, skew and all that stuff, either to the old files I have or to new files where I want to use one of my fonts that doesn't have bold/italic faces in it.

I've used and supported Xara from the corel days. This new "feature" has ended any further upgrades for me. I'm hoping you'll add the choice of using or not using synth fonts at some point.

Even a Xara template ended up with the warning.....
