I have had no end of problems with custom fonts in Xara 2.

In particular the character forgetting all is node information. So the character displayed is shot to bits. If i use the font in another application it's fine.

I think Xara 2's font rastering is a bit pants.

Suggestion.

Use the font is Corel 9 etc. Convert to a editable shape and cut 'n' paste to Xara.

Works for me.

Regs.
