Hello!
I'm French so I deal a lot with words containing diacritics (foreign characters such as é, è, ê, ç, etc.). The problem is, diacritics mess my alignment. Let's say I want to align two words in a box, "Émile" and "Emile". The only difference is the accented "E". Corel Draw will not align those two words at the same place in the box since the height of the first word is bigger than the height of the second word. You understand?
To fix that problem, what I usually do is that I remove the diacritics, align and then re-enter the diacritics.... but this is time-consuming, obviously.
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to tell CD to ignore all diacritics. Is there a way?
thanks a lot.

I think you misunderstood this, I should’ve been clearer:
My problem is (or at least, that's how I see it) with the DIACRITICS, and it shows it TWO ways: 1) when I vertically align stuff, and 2) when I space stuff. Not in paragraph text.
Does the picture make anything clearer for you?
Bonjour Olivier,
so I can only assume that in your example above, these 4 words are 4 individual artistic text objects. Artistic text objects, when it comes to alignment, behaves mostly like if they were curves. I think you should consider changing your objects to paragraph text objects (use CTRL+F8 to do that). Then line these up. After, you can reconvert to artistic text the same way.
I did a test run and I think it'd yield the expected results. See below.
I don't see a problem with either form of alignment so long as the align to First line baseline (Align and distribute text from the baseline of the first line) button is clicked on the Align and Distribute docker.
