A few months ago I told you about the lack of information provided by a number of users who simply say “It Doesn’t Work”. One of the most basic things you should supply is the name of the software and the version you are using. A pet peeve of mine is...
Where were you on August 12, 1981? It was a pretty historic day in history, especially for those of us who sit in front of a computer every day. It was the day the IBM PC was released. Here we are on the 30th anniversary. Has it really been 30 years? That makes me...
Every single day I hear someone ask about a MacOS native version of CorelDRAW. This post is not to debate the merits of Mac vs. Windows. While I will explain the obvious reasons there won’t be a Mac version, there is nothing to say Corel won’t make an...
When I first saw this font, I wondered if the name was related to the Galapagos Islands. If so, is there a reason the name (Galapogos BRK) is spelled with an “o” instead of an “a”. The characters do have a roundness that makes me think of the...

Here in the US, Las Vegas is the gaming capital and it draws a bunch of visitors each year. On the international scene, the gaming hot spot is Macao. What do those locations have to day with today’s fonts? Nothing really other than the fonts are named Macao and...
Back in May I told you about a catalog full of CorelDRAW mistakes. The good news is that the designer who was going to update the catalog had taken our CorelDRAW Unleashed Training Boot Camp.Armed with this new knowledge, the catalog has undergone a massive overhaul....
One of the things I like the most about CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT is the wide array of fills that are available to use. Unfortunately, some of the fill types seem to be underutilized by users. I’m not sure if they aren’t aware of the fill type and/or...
We hit 117 degrees in Phoenix last week. As I watch the news, I see that many other areas in the US have been miserably hot recently. I thought it was only appropriate to feature the Iceberg family of fonts today. Included are regular, italic and bold weights. This is...
