View fonts
You can customize the font list, from within the Font list box, to make it easier to find fonts. For example, you can change the size of the font names displayed in the Font list box. You can display fonts grouped by family or as a flat list. If you have non-Latin fonts installed, you can show their names in Latin or in their native language. In addition, you can show recently used fonts at the top of the font list, or hide them, and you can specify the number of recently used fonts to display.
By default, font names use the corresponding fonts, but you can display all font names by using the same font.
Corel DESIGNER lets you preview fonts in the Preview area at the bottom of the Font list box or in the drawing window. You can also preview a font in all available styles, such as bold and italic.
You can resize the Font list area by adjusting its height and width or by hiding the preview area.
