There were some patches available at one time but I'm not able to find them anymore. I have recently installed X3 on a W7 machine and have so far found everything to work fine except for an issue of half of my fonts being blank when trying to choose one from the drop down menu. Existing files with these blank fonts also come up with the fonts completely missing as if the entire set of words was deleted. Here is the list of patches that I've heard is necessary for X3 to be compatible with W7....if anyone can find these, please share!
Below is a message from an older post:
I too have CorelDraw X3 on a Windows 7 machine, in order to get the best from it you will need to visit Corel's website http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/gb/en/Content/1153321224268?pid=1208716785680and install the following patches Service Packs and patches in this order, re-start after each:1. CGSX3 Hot Patch1.exe2. CGSX3SP1.msp3. CGSX3SP2.msp4. Font Nav Fix.msp ............. which will fix the problem with the Fontsand then run the program in Compatibility Mode with Windows XP+SP2
Hello zodiacent; What type of font's are you trying to load and how and where are you loading them?

The problem fonts all seem to be either Openface or Type 1 fonts, and they were loaded by dumping them straight into the fonts folder in the C drive...the standard folder that comes with all Windows systems. This has always worked for me with other operating systems, but not on W7, and from reading some older threads here, looks like I'm not the only one. When I run an X5 trial, all the fonts are working properly with it, but there are quite a few issues with X5 that I am not happy with and would like to stay with X3. I hear that X4 might be the best of both worlds for me, but no free trial anywhere that I can find.
