I have several pages written in paragraph text, all (as far I I know) in ElegaGarmnd BT. However, the Text Statistics says I have used Arial, Batang and ElegaGarmnd BT. I can't find any Arial or Batang anywhere. Can anyone explain what it's seeing? Can I trust anything in the Text Statistics dialogue?

CorelDRAW includes support to foreign languages, such as eastern laguages. Some fonts (such as Arial, batang, ect) is only used as text style for compatibiliy with other languages.
shelley said:Ariel - This doesn't answer the question. Say you've been cutting and pasting text from other sources and you want to be sure they've all converted to just one font, this won't help you.
I know, this is not what people need. Sometimes, you just need to know what fonts are really used. The information of Text Statistics (and also under File / document properties) include the fonts used on Text Styles, although you didn't see or didn0t never used it. Then, it's not an useful information. I just explained you why those extra fonts are listed.
shelley said:Just out of interest, can you search for fonts within text? As in, it's (genuinely) listing Segoe as a used font, can I find where it is?
Not really. You can use a font only on one word of a paragraph, even only on one "space". Then, the font is used, although you can't see where is used. Sorry
OK, thanks for that, but it's not a case of "sometimes". Don't you "always" need to know what actual fonts are being used?

Any chance of a techie is reading this and offering a solution before we reach Version Z0 (twenty, see what I did there)?

Sincerely, not. I can use Collect for output an it will create a report with the used fonts and a copy of the used fonts on a separate folder.
For what reason I'll need to know the fonts that are being used?. If it's for send to other computer, fonts are embedded on the document, then I don't need to know it. If I send a PDF, fonts are also embedded, then I don't need to know it neither. I only need to know the fonts when I receive a file that doesnt have embedded fonts, but on this case, corelDRAW promprt a list of missing fonts (and allows to install it automatically if I have the font on my computer)
shelley said:What is "Collect"?
that means to reunite all the things relative to the file (the fonts used on the document, linked images, color profiles, etc) and also a copy of the file and/or a PDF .and a text file with the information, all in a new folder.
