Thanks Gary and Rob,
I now see its a font thing, I thought it might be some fancy processing.
Didn't know about the windows START MENU> character map.

You also have the sanction of pressing Undo (Ctrl+Z) after the characters are replaced, just in case you really did want 1/2 and not ½.

Re: Text tool fractions
Well, it is also an Xara application thing. Fonts like Arial have the OpenType code for what are called stacking fractions which, when the fea is turned on will compose fractions of all numbers. Unfortunately, Xara applications are not opentype aware.

Acorn: Thanks for the undo.
mwenz: I wonder what other "opentype features" might be available, I'll do some googling.
Xara may implement these in the future !

There are a whole lot of OT features possible. None of which are usable in Xara applications at this point in time. But we do live in hope that one day Xara gets their products into the 21st century...
