New text features, whats next?

Well, there go any vector tool improvements.

Steven, I can sort of understand the desires for enhancing the whole new...whatever it is called. I mean, in the past few versions, we got the shape builder and eraser. Which do work fairly well. In general, people may just be burned out on rehashing all the wanted vector stuff for naught. Why bother?

So hoping xara actually makes the new text stuff usable enough to compete with a half-done word processor is all there is left.

Given Xara's strategy of working in all areas, the question here is, in the area of text development, given that effort will necessarily be limited, what should be the next priority? No intention of suggesting it should have priority over other areas such as graphics. That's a topic for a separate thread.

its safe to say thats already happened

When Xara started adding all the web design facilities I have to admit to being miffed big time. All those features I never want to use but have to pay for. Have got over it now. Have recognized that XDPro is now a multifaceted program.

its also safe to say all of the features that arent exclusive to drawing/illstrationg have broadened its appeal enormously not just to new users but also to adepts of the original xara
i may moan about the lack of dev in graphic areas but i still use it every day
in that resptect it must be a success for xara,magix
