Hmmm... You mean the custom brushes in Xara are all bitmap, not vector? I thought you could either have vector or bitmap brushes.
As for cartooning, I like to use the preset brush profiles to get that nice tapered look. However, I agree that the custom brushes need work, partly because of the breaks at the curves and corners of strokes that show up in the example above. It would be nice to make custom brushes that stretch along a path like those in Illustrator or CorelDraw, along with the current "scatter-type" brushes that Xara has now.
