I can't get my default font to stick.
I use Calibri as my default font, but now Raleigh Md BT over-rides the default setting.
I change the font to Calibri, select "Save Settings as Default". But when I select the text tool, it reverts to Raleigh.
When I try to use the "Change Document Default" dialog, it doesn't allow me to use Calibri, or ANY other font. It always goes back to Raleigh Md BT.
Really odd behavior. Any clues???
ADDED: I un-installed Raleigh fonts and rebooted. Now I'm getting the same "over-ride" behavior, but this time from Ariel font. And the Ariel font continually defaults to Uniform Fill so that the letters are entirely black squares, no letters just black squares. No matter what I do to try to make a different default font (Calibri, Swiss, etc), Corel rejects it and forces me to use Ariel with all-black uniform fill.
Let's ensure you're changing as I would then save settings as default. Change both Artistic & Paragraph text.
You can use the Style docker to see - and to change for the current document - and to set as default for new documents - the properties that are used when new objects are created.
See this thread for a description with some screenshots.
Now, their may be something else weird going on, but I would check there first.
The default Character properties for Artistic text and Paragraph text are independent of each other, and that comes into play with what you see when the Text tool is active.
When the Text tool is active, and you haven't created a text shape yet, the Property bar will show the font, font size etc. that are the defaults for Paragraph text. If you single-click to create a Paragraph text shape, then the Property bar will show the font, font size, etc. that are the defaults for Artistic text.
Thanks everyone. I couldn't think of a good way to expand my explanation, so I've created a screen-capture video, too large apparently to upload, so Dropbox link is here:

In that video, it appears to me that you have the BACKGROUND for Artistic text to, by default, be a uniform fill of black.
If you want to see what the default Character properties for new Artistic text objects are in the document, try checking in the styles docker (default object properties - Artistic Text - Character properties).
If it shows there as "Uniform fill", then change it there to no fill. That will change the default for new Artistic text shapes created in that document. You could then right-click on the style set name, then save that as the default for new documents.
What I just described there is a lot like what I describe in the thread I linked to earlier; just not for the Background property. So, you could refer to that for a better description of the procedure.
That did it !!! You're the best.
But I thought that "Save Settings as Default" was a blanket save for ALL settings?
