I am hoping this is something simple and I have gone through the forums and can't find anyone else with a simillar problem.
I can't get corel draw x6 to create a "FF" as in Coffee. It happens in most fonts and as soon as you type ff they disappear from view and don't print. I can go into x5 and type it then copy and paste it into x6 as graphic text and it works fine. The only way I have been able to over come it is to put another charachter inbetween the f's then make it tiny and no colour and there you go I can create Coffee, Geoff, Affable and so on. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I have used corel since the early days and really like it and can use it pretty well but this one is just stumping me.
Any suggestions?
This is a new feature in X6, which for the first time supports ligatures. Information about them is here in the help file.
It does say "Some OpenType fonts may appear to support features that are unsupported." so it looks as if you may have found such a font.
Which font(s) are you using?

Harry is right. Select your text object and turn off the ligature button in the character docker. That should fix your problem.
I'd like to verify what is going on however because what you see is very unusual. What font are you using?
Dear harryLondon,
Some ME fonts in CorelDraw X6 (Windows 8.1) appear as rectangles in CD. The fonts are installed and worked in the old computer that ran XP and CorelDraw X6.
