Is it possible to enable the flyout font preview like in Coreldraw X5?
In the new font list, that preview is at the bottom, and you can make it as large as you want :
Thank you Claude! Do you perhaps also know how I could disable the automatic application of a font on the entire selected text as I hover over the various fonts? It's very annoying, I would simply like a font to be applied to my selected text only after I've selected it, just like it would in Coreldraw X5 and earlier.Thanks in advance.
There is no user interface for that but you can add this, or the equivalent to this, to your registry and it will disable this feature :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\[REPLACE WITH YOUR VERSION]\Draw\Application Preferences\TextTool]"LiveText"="0"
CorelDRAW must not be running when you do that.
Thank you for sharing that, Claude!
For anyone who does this sort of tweaking - have a look at NirSoft "RegScanner" from Nir Sofer. It's a great tool for finding things in the Registry, and then being able to launch the Registry Editor at the right place to do the editing you want.
While you're at it, check out some of the other great tools from NirSoft. I'm not being paid to write this; I am just a grateful user of some of those tools!
