Still no fix for Font navigator and Italics only showing on some fonts

Yes, first thing I checked. Though I'm not too surprised, because Corel only seemed to notice this problem about a week ago, even though it has been here for a month or more.
The only hope we have is that if the problem is entirely within the bitstream code it really ought to be possible to issue a separate update to fontnav without waiting for other fixes in X6.11.
Oh, and its not "some" fonts, it is most fonts -- in fact all fonts that come as a standard "set of four".

No, this is really nothing "new". Some fonts has problem sometimes, but not all people has the same problem with the same fonts. And yes, it also happens on X5, If you open Font Navigator, go to File / Configuration / duplicated fonts, you will see the available files for each font, is some font shows "italic" instead "regular" or "bold", just choose another file for the same font. I know, this is not the best solution, but at least you can solve the problem

Yes I think this is essential, as for using Nexus as some are recommending it would drive me crazy. I have thousands of files with so many fonts that have been used over the years that having to manually install them and then uninstall them would be counter productive.
We really need a HOT FIX for font navigator.

FN is really death - I use FontExplorerPro and I am satisfied!!

Chris, thankfully that isn't how Nexus works. You have to start it each time you start your computer, but after that, and one time pointing it to your font folder, and your folder with your extra fonts, you do absolutely nothing. It does something in the background to always have every font at the ready. I have not once since using it gotten a message from Corel, or any other program saying I was missing a font. They are all, always there. It's weird you know? it is to good to be true, but it is.
I have 600 fonts installed. I have another folder with subfolders that has about 5500. when I start my computer it takes an extra 30 seconds to count them all. And the first time you open the text tool in corel it lags for about 1-2 seconds, But that's it. And I say that is worth it.
Even better? my clients send me files in word or publisher with weird fonts I don't want, as long as it is on my system, nexus makes it availible. It doesn't 'install it' but it is there when you want to use it. Please try it. You will Not regret it.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the explanation
It seems a bit boogi ooggie the way it works, I must admit I like to know how things work before I install them.
I will investigate further.
Again thanks for the Heads Up.
Cheers,Chris
