Working with text in different languages
In CorelDRAW, you can work with text in different languages. For example, if you are running CorelDRAW on an Asian operating system, or
if you have Asian language support installed on another operating system, you can take advantage of the Asian text formatting capabilities
available with CorelDRAW.
This section contains the following topics:
• “Formatting Asian text” (page 435)
• “Using line-breaking rules for Asian text” (page 436)
• “OpenType support for Asian text” (page 437)
• “Formatting multilingual text” (page 437)
• “Displaying text correctly in any language” (page 439)
Formatting Asian text
Asian character input is supported in CorelDRAW only when using an appropriate operating system or when language support is installed on
a non-Asian operating system. You can choose a default font and text orientation (either horizontal or vertical) when typing text. When you
type artistic or paragraph text, the program uses a default artistic or paragraph text style.
