- Media Logic? Foreign characters (at least the Scandinavian chars I
- played with) worked perfectly with TopDraw. How come this is suddenly
- Media Logic's problem?
- I bought two copies of Draw the day it came out, and AppSoft answered
- to my complaints about kerning of foreign characters by aknowledging
- the existence of the problem. I did not get idea of when the problem
- is going to be fixed.
-
- Randy again aknowledges the problem. I still have no idea as of when
- AppSoft is going to fix this (big) problem that renders Draw pretty
- much unusable for users of foreign characters.
-
- When can we expect a working version of Draw that supports even approximately
- proper kerning of foreign characters?
