I'm running on a fairly new Dell Studio laptop computer with Windows 7 Pro as the OS.
The font was installed using the normal install font directions.
As stated above the font works fine in Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Word.
It shows as installed in Corel Draw font menu but will not print when trying to type, the curser just blinks.
I know a number of other people have had this same problem, I hope by now there is an answer.
I also have 2 desktop computers running Windows XP Pro OS where the font works perfectly in all programs.
Hope there is an answer to this problem.
Thank you
When you say "custom font", what do you mean?
And what format is the font? Type 1? ttf? something else?
It's a font I had made specially for my business by an experianced fontographer.
The font comes in two different versions True Type and Open Type.
Corel Draw 11 does not work with either.
The font may be 16 bit rather than 8 bit. If I memory serves me correctly (that in itself is doubtful), Corel 11 has no idea what to do with 16 bit fonts. Adobe does.
If that were true then the font wouldn't work in my desktop computers running Windows XP, right??

Not true. As Hugh states, It is application dependent. It may or may not be usable in some apps. Corel 11 is a no for 16-bit fonts. (as best I can remember).
