After downloading the 15 day trial and testing
the text tool, I see that the century old
problem with accented foreign (non-English)
characters remains. This is a problem from
v.1 of Xara. I need this tool VERY BAD for
my webs and although I REPEATEDLY EMAILED THEM,
Xara didn't give a damn to correct it.

So I won't give a damn to upgrade.

Hey XARA, not all your users are English-speaking
FOR KRIST'S SAKE!

(Anyway due to this problem and Xara's lack of updates for 2 years now, I jumped ship to Fireworks, which DOES SUPPORT UNICODE TEXT)

The new features are fantastic and I envy
all english-speaking users. But it's no good
to me if I can't build my web gfx in my native
language.

VERY ANGRY,
TS
