Corel 2019 and now 2020
When selecting the font "dropdown" the names of the fonts are not visible on the screen.
The font is there and can be selected, but you cant see its name before selecting it.
I have an old version 2018 on the same PC and that works fine.
The same thing happened after downloading 2020.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had this problem with CorelDRAW 2019 on my notebook computer at home. The problem is still there in version 2020. The only work-around seems to be displaying all font names in plain text and then using the preview below the font list. I think I'm just going to try re-arrange my font collection and start with only a minimal number of fonts in the target folder and see if that helps it.
ajwh - you genius...
The solution was not the theme, but was found in the font drop down cogwheel. (Not the one in FM but the one in CD2019)
When the cogwheel is clicked you have four tick boxes.
The third option 3. Use font to display Font names - was ticked in my case.
When I unticked this option the Font drop down started to display the fonts as normal - Hooray!
To test: I re-ticked the option and sure enough the font names go invisible again.
I think this option is misleading to some as you would think you must tick it so you can see the selected text previewing the selected font. But in my case this happens whether this is ticked or not, so not sure of its intended purpose.
Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
But regardless of its purpose my Fonts once again display - without ajwh comment I would not have found this solution.
A big thank you to the Corel Draw community.
Please see my response to ajwh and see if that solution works for you too.
None of that works. I can only get names of fonts in the font list to be visible by un-checking the "Use font to display font name" option. I'm stuck with the font list being only plain text. No fonts used to display the font name. Checking and un-checking the item does nothing to restore font visibility. Changing the color theme in the standalone Font Manager application does not solve the problem. The standalone font manager application is basically worthless because there's apparently nothing in there to allow the plain text listing of fonts. So most of the fonts in that list are totally invisible. This bug was there in CorelDRAW 2019 and it is persistent in CorelDRAW 2020.
Same for me. I've tried all the suggestions offered and still no font samples to preview. Corel doesn't know either and it was a bug in CD2019 which didn't seem to get fixed in CD2020.
