Modifying encoding settings to display text correctly

In Corel PHOTO-PAINT, all text that is added to a document is encoded using Unicode, which determines the character set of the text. When you open or import an image that contains text, Corel PHOTO-PAINT converts the encoding system that was used in the file to Unicode. For example, if you import an older document that includes 8-bit ANSI text that uses a specific code page (e.g. (949 ANSI/OEM - Korean), Corel PHOTO-PAINT converts code page 949 to Unicode. However, if the code page is not specified when opening the image, Corel PHOTO-PAINT uses a default code page to convert the text, which may cause some text to display incorrectly. You can display the text correctly by selecting the affected text and reconverting it to Unicode by using the appropriate code page.

Encoding settings do not affect the display of text outside the drawing window, such as keywords, filenames, and text entries in the Object manager and Object data manager dockers. For these types of text, you must use code page settings in the Open or Import dialog boxes to set the proper characters. For information about using code page settings, see Opening images.
