Hi everybody,
I have a word document of an english text with the Chinese translation after each sentence. i tried to import it to Xara but instead of displaying the Chinese i am seeing some squares instead.
Is there any way that Xara can display them correctly?
Thank you
Gaf
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.
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 !
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!
It is possible the Font does not have any Unicode characters.Quote:

Copy & Paste from a browser or MS Word into a Text Area set to Tahoma works.
As to the writing direction, I have no clue.

the font list in xara reports those fonts that are installed in windows and that is why you see it even if xara cannot use it [windows is the only place you can install fonts; when xara installs downloaded fonts, it installs them in windows]Quote:

Acorn, your method worked great just needed to align and bold the text where needed since i pasted it as unformatted text ! (pasting as rich text didn't work)
Thank you very much for your support !
