Hi,
Greetings to everyone.
I have a peculiar problem with coreldraw x4. My friend had sent me a word document with the Hindi Mangal Unicode font, and he had asked me to manipulate it. I downloaded the trial version and began to start working on it.
But the problem is that copying and pasting in word documents works fine, but when i copy fron word and paste it in CorelDraw X4 some glyphs and characters are jumbled / incorrect.
Could some one please help me on this issue.
Regards,
Sakthivel
Hi
There are still some areas in Unicode especially double byte fonts like Devnagari, Chinese etc. where Corel lacks. The issue has been forwarded to Corelians and hope to have it solved in X5.

No one could tell you that. All those who would know any thing would be under "Non Disclosure Agreement."

Mr. Anand
Thanks for the reply. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope Corel Team works toward the issue.
Hi Sakthivel, have you tryed to install that particular font, make the text in word something common like Times or Arial, copy from word into Draw and then change the text back to that Mangal Font?
Mr. FinnV
Thanks for replying. When I try to copy / paste in Word it works fine. Mangal font is installed by windows when Regional Language is selected. Mangal is Hindi Font. The problem is when the text is copied from Word, the contents are intact in Clipboard, the problem arises only when it is copied into CorelDraw.
If you prefer I'll upload a screenshot .
Hi Sakthivel: Next question is, how do you paste, do you use the Paste Special options, or just normal Paste, Ctrl+V ? Know nothing about Hindi fonts, just guessing, I*m sure Anand will be the man who knows.
Hi Finn
There have been some issues with double byte fonts and DRAW. Mangal font is a devnagari script and is a double byte font like Chinese. The issue is that DRAW is not able to display or print the ligatures.IMO its a DRAW issue as the text copied on the clipboard if placed in word or openoffice, it works fine. This is already reported and I am sure to get a solution for this soon.

BTW, to my knowledge, CS4 also has the same issue. But then some third party has written a macro for CS4 which takes care of this. I have not used it as I don't have Adobe products installed on my machine.
