When I open Xara I get the message "This document contains synthesized bold/italic font variants that are no longer supported. Please use the Name Gallery to identify and if necessary replace the fonts". I am using a font called ZapfChan Bd BT. This setup was inherited from a guy that retired a couple of years ago. I hesitate to change the font since it is in use all over the website.

My question is this: I use the text tool to write out the desired text, make desired changes to shadows and bevels, and then export the result as a gif file. Do I need to worry about the message since I am creating image files? Next, can I make the message go away without changing the font?

Thanks in advance.
