CorelDRAW includes controls that let you format text in different languages. You can limit any font, style, and size changes to only Latin, Asian, or Middle Eastern text by choosing the script type. For example, if you want to change the font size of Korean text in a document that includes both English and Korean text, you can choose the Asian script type, and then change the font size. This applies the new font size only to the Korean text, the English text font size is unaffected. You can also enable right-to-left text flow when working with bidirectional languages, such as Middle Eastern languages. In addition, you can mix latin text with Asian or Middle Eastern in one text object and set the spacing between the two words.
