First off I am a volunteer here at TG and not employed at all by Xara. In my experience Xara has never released information on new features or updates until they are actually released to the public. This has been their policy for many years and not something I would expect to change. So while yes this is something that has been asked for many times in the past (by me as well as others) It could be possible that they are working toward adding this feature in the future. In the latest release there were some improvements made to address kerning issues with open type fonts, it could be possible that this is groundwork for more, or we could continue to wait for this feature for who knows how long.

IMO the ones who don't listen are not the folks at Xara but those at Magix who control the purse strings.
