Display text correctly in any language

---

In Corel DESIGNER, all text that is added to a document is encoded using the Unicode character set. When you open or import a drawing that contains text, Corel DESIGNER 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 DESIGNER converts code page 949 to Unicode. If the code page is not specified when you open a document, Corel DESIGNER uses a default code page to convert the text. Therefore, this may cause some text to display incorrectly in Corel DESIGNER. However, you can display the text correctly by selecting it and converting it back 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 Objects docker and Object Data docker. 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 Start and open drawings.

To display text correctly in any language

Changing the encoding allows you to use Unicode fonts, even if your original text was using non-Unicode fonts.
