Xara can't display imported Chinese text ?

[RKissane]

Did you first save the word document as a PDF and then bring that into Xara?

Yes i tried this method and got text overlayered, and if i try to edit by adding spaces to separate them, the text moves left instead of moving right!

does the font you are using support Chinese, stupid question I know.

[gaftalik]

It's not a stupid question at all!, it is open sans as word 2016 shows it in Chinese so i i installed it but Xara still show it as squares !

[gaftalik]

Guys it worked by selecting those squares and manually changing the font, Xara didnt change it automatically even after restarting it!

Thank you all for your time and help !

gaftalik, I'm glad you have a solution.

What happens if you change the document language before the import to Chinese?
If that works, you can always changed back to English.

Perhaps you could upload a small sample of your original document here?

The Chinese text was written by a translator who sent me the font and installed it already but i have no idea why Xara doesn't recognize it though it shows as installed under Fonts!
