Is there any chance to implement a working tool for missing fonts (win7)?
Or should we arrange some fundraising for "Font Expert plugin 4 Corel" development ?
Best to all!
Corel user still alive!
Hello Sergej; Corel comes with "Font Navigator" Windows has a limited number of fonts that can be loaded with out causing a problem. Load your fonts in the Font Nav. ( make sure in set up you check the box for the use Font Nav on start up ).

I've been use Corel more than 20 years, BFN was god option in a very fresh start, last few years it's become more than usefulness almost like Corel draw after x3.
So should we start make a pressure on Corel company to bring our lives back!
Everybody knows that BFN have serious problems with win 7. BFN did not have big improvement after a few yeras ago, and what is more important it doesnot working with x4 and x5 on same computer longer than a few days - if you have luck that work after install at all.
From the rest Ariel, you should admit (if you are car driver) that you appreciated a "few things" which you can find in the present cars, than a models 20 years older ago, especially if an old timer won't start!

What problems? I use it with Windows 7 and I have no problem. More, I knew some people that has some problems under Windows XP (ie, the auto-install feature doesn't works sometimes)

Yes, this is a big problem,

The main problem is: each version and program (CorelDRAW, Designer, etc) has it own version of BFN.

perhaps this is the problem... I'm not a car driver! :) btw, I want more features for both CorelDRAW and FontNavigator, and I want more and more. Anyway, I have no problems with BFN, and I don't need other program
I,m really happy for you!
But for my opinion and experience you are really rare user with such bless touch on your Corel draw.
So all others,
should we organize demonstrations in front of Corel head quoter with demanding s for fully working software, or Illustrator is our future?
Can you explain what kind of problems you have?

The dialog that pops up when ever you install a font over 1000 fonts sure is annoying.

Install more than 1000 fonts is potentially dangerous, the system speed and performance decreases if you have 1000, 3000 or 5000 fonts, so this is a good advice. This is not "a problem", it's only an alert.

Hi.
Ability to dismiss it would be nice. I'm running 1508 fonts without any issues at all. In this day the computers, as they are very powerful relatively compared to such a short time ago, the limit should be increased. CorelDraw should be tested and optimized to run with a new max recommended limit of fonts especially if it ever becomes a 64 bit version.

Which would leave the folks who run machines less powerful than yours - where?
But they're still Corel customers, and increasing the limit so they can practice poor housekeeping like you do doesn't really seem like a wise business choice. That's why they give us FontNav, so we don't have to keep 1508 fonts loaded.

I know people that works with more than 2000 installed fonts without problem, but this is not a good advice for all people. Some days ago, I helped a user who have problems of speed, crashes, and fonts (the auto-install fonts sometimes doesn't work, propmt for install the font but the font is missing). I checked the system, and I found more than 1800 installed fonts. So, I uninstall almost all, I only keep 20 fonts, restart the conmputer and all problems are gone. CorelDRAW was faster again, the auto-install fonts works fine, and there's no more problems. This is not the first case, that was a common problem, and unistall fonts impreves the speed and stability of the program (on XP, Win7 32 and 64 bits) . On other computer, no only CorelRAW, almost all programs turn slow, and after a clean up and reduce the font list to less than 400, the speed return again. Of course, it's not the only reason and/or the only solution of problems, but if a font manager advice for install more than 1000 fonts, I don't see it as an error. Perhaps we need an option for disable this warning only. But what I ask is for the "problems" and "defects" that made FontNav useless. Too much fonts seems a Windows issue, not a FontNav limit (try to install more than 3000 fonts without FontNav and see the difference of performance).
I know that FontNav doesn't change since the past century, and need a new release (or a new Corel Font Manager), and also we knows issues like compatibilty with some type1 fonts
It's not the number of fonts that Corel products (both Photopaint and Draw) have a problem with. It's the type of fonts. The fancy distressed fonts bring Corel Draw to it's knees, even if you only have 1 or two installed. When you try to open the font drop down list, the entire computer freezes for long periods of time. The same thing actually happens if you try to use Windows explorer to view one of these fonts. Sometimes, Windows can't even view it at all. But other programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop and a range of cheap and freeware programs have no problem at all with these same fonts. There's a problem somewhere that Corel and Microsoft need to fix.
