- I don't know about Imagine 3.0, I have Imagine 4.0 (Get it:) ) In
- 4.0, magnetism grabs the point you select, and each surrounding point
- a certain percent less based on the magnetism setting. It works fine
- for me :)

- Again, in version 4.0... It works:) Some fonts work, others pretty
- much make no sense whatsoever. I had to go over all the fonts and
- figure out which ones rendered worth anything, and which didn't.

- In conclusion, get the 4.0 upgrade :) I never used 3.0, went from 2
- to 4. And 4.0 is a very well-written version.
