Couple of queries on 3.0: 1. Re the bitmap editing component. Does it allow you to scan?(if so, PPaintbrush gets cleared out) 2.Re fonts. Do they come in both TType and PS formats? 3.Re fonts: how do these fonts affect CDR drawings saved in 2.01 format using the native CDR WFN fonts? 4.Any word on *what* proof of purchase will be required when upgrading at wherever gets the upgrades? thanks! ^^^robert

Robert, > 1. Re the bitmap editing component. Does it allow you to scan?(if > so, PPaintbrush gets cleared out) No I am afraid it has been removed. > 2.Re fonts. Do they come in both TType and PS formats? Yes. The fonts come in TT and AT1. > 3.Re fonts: how do these fonts affect CDR drawings saved in 2.01 > format using the native CDR WFN fonts? The fonts are converted automatically if mapped to an appropriate TTF. This is transparent to the user. If the font did not come from us then you must add the appropriate mapping. > 4.Any word on *what* proof of purchase will be required when > upgrading at wherever gets the upgrades? You will have to ask Cythia (section leader) for the Customer Service section that one. Paul

Thanks, Paul — you speedily answered it all. Just one quick followup, re converting. You said the WFN fonts are automatically converted if mapped to a TT font. But since the package includes Type 1 PS fonts, could I assume that mapped to those fonts they'll be automatically converted? Or is it a manual conversion process? ^^^robert

Robert, The mapping process is done automatically in order of priority. CoreDRAW polls the True Type engine first to match fonts, then the AT1 engine and finally WFN. If you wish to use AT1 fonts then simply remove the corresponding font from True Type and the AT1 will be selected, provided ATM is running and the font is added to its list. In the text dialog box, when selecting a font, it will tell you which of the three the font is. Paul

No scanner support??? What a disappointment. With all the other capabilities included with the 3.0 package, I really don't want to keep another whole paint program on disk, just to scan images in. Is there a decent, inexpensive Windows scan-only program available?

Paul, Could you give me Cynthia's CIS ID? I left an order request to Cindy Scott 75230,333 (as suggested in message I found on here) but have had no acknowledgement as yet. –Eileen
