Find fonts
With the new Font list box in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-
PAINT, you can view, filter, and find fonts easily. In addition to
the font filters available before, you can filter fonts based on
weight, width, supported scripts, and more. Font search has
also been enhanced, allowing you to use keywords to search
for fonts.
Interactive OpenType features
OpenType features let you choose alternative appearances for
individual characters (glyphs), provided that the font and
selected characters support OpenType features. OpenType
features include fractions, ligatures, ordinals, ornaments,
small caps, swashes, and more. OpenType fonts are based on
Unicode, which makes them ideal for cross-platform and
multi-language design work. In addition, CorelDRAW will
suggest eligible OpenType features that you can apply to your
text.
Insert Character docker
The Insert Character docker (Tex t
Insert Character) presents all characters,
symbols, and glyphs associated with a
selected font, making it easier to find and
insert characters into your documents. A
filtering option lets you display only the
character subsets that you want. For
example, you can choose to display only
the Cyrillic characters and symbols for a
selected font.
