autoligatures?

[Steve C.]

How do you turn on the Autoligatures in Corel X3?

 

[Steve C.]

Open Type Automatic Ligatures....anyone?

 

[SignosaurusRex]

Good Question Steve. I very seldom work in Corel

 

[Steve C.]

I'm working on auto ligatures in a font and I need to test it in Corel.

 

[Jester1167]

I haven't seen that function. You might try at the Corel forum.

I have not been able to find it either. Does anyone know if X3 even supports
automatic ligatures?

 

[The Vector Doctor]

a few google searches indicate that corel does not support it. But have your tried it using the alt+ access them? Nevermind, I think you want them to come up automatically or turn them on/off, right? AFAIK that is in Adobe products

[QUOTEWhile CorelDRAW can use opentype fonts, it still doesn't incorporate all of the great opentype features like true small caps, ligatures, alternates, numeral variations, etc... Many of these features simply aren't available -- even through the "Insert Character" docker.

This is the link where I found the quote above.

Just found this on a quick search for Ligatures on the Corel Forums. It looks as thought they don't offer it yet. Hope this helps you Steve.

I hope they offer the feature in upcoming releases, perhaps X6.

I it take that the new X5 does not?

That truly sucks! This feature has been available in otf since version 12 and
they are at 15 now, and still have not added the option? I have been a
corel user since 3, but it looks like I may need Illustrator. I assume it is
available in Illy?

Anyone have fonts with autoligatures, and what program do you use?

Yes it works very well in Illustrator CS. Zapfino for instance has several hundred variations of letters. Minion, Adobe Garamond, Chapparal and dozens of others

S Rex, it didn't appear to be available in X5 , I just read over the new release features.Probably won't upgrade until the old XP's need it. Until then Illy is what I use for Bickham script, Sinzano and such. There is a Ministry Script guide here that shows some things about it.

Thanks Day. You would think that Corel would be stepping up to the plate on this. Their loss!
