Last week I announced the first “Lite” product to our Textures Unleashed series of seamless textures. The difference is that the disc-based products contain four sizes of textures and the “Lite” products only include the smallest size. You can...

In the last two weeks, I’ve told you about the Dumbledor 1 fonts and Dumbledor 2 families of fonts. Guess what, there is a third collection of nine fonts named Dumbledor 3. They come in all the same weights and are very similar at first glance. There are a total...
Our Textures Unleashed series of seamless textures has been a popular product for users. When we put together the collections, we wanted to provide textures that could work for any project so we included four sizes of each texture. The high resolution textures are...
https://fostercoburn.com/font-packs/Last week I told you about the Dumbledor 1 fonts. Today we look at another nine fonts named Dumbledor 2. They come in all the same weights and are very similar at first glance. There are a total of nine fonts in this collection...
I saw a plea for help from a user that was a scary situation that many of us may face at some point. This user had recently started with a company that had “tens of thousands” of CorelDRAW files that were not organized in any way. Finding files was...

I’m not sure why, but this font makes me think of Star Trek. I know it isn’t the same font, it just brings it to mind for me. There are five different fonts included in the Jumptroops package. Regular, Italic, Light, Light Italic and Condensed weights give...
I had a loyal reader ask me about an article titled Fun with glyphs at Before & After. It shows how a variety of alternate glyphs are selected from a font. The reader wanted to know if this was possible in CorelDRAW. The short answer is yes and it has been around...
Fonts can serve many purposes. Some are great for long blocks of text and others have very specific users for only a few characters. Today’s font, X-Grid definitely falls under the latter description. Each of the characters sits on a grid, a slanted grid in the...
Quite often I will use an e-mail or phone call I receive when writing a blog post. In this case it was a phone call from someone who wanted to know if there was a macro or add-on for CorelDRAW that would do a specific kind of product. The person was ready to buy if I...
