Hi, does anybody know whether or not the american version of ProPage and/or ProDraw supporst typesetting of other languages (with umlauts and stuff (maybe even with REAL umlauts and smaller uppercase letters} and PAL resolution? I cannot stand software with a german user interface . . . Many thanks, Konrad ps: please mail as I have a TERRIBLE news backlog to read . . . //kn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ As I'm not working for anybody, I can't be representing their opinion!

Professional Page uses Compugraphic fonts, as does Pro Draw; those fonts are
from AGFA, so the answer is that yes, they do indeed support unlauts and other
diacritical marks (as do most Amiga fonts anyway, as accessed with the ALT
key combinations).

Well, I think this is only 90% right. Yes, they use compugraphics, but there are still some aspect wich are extremly importend for foreign languages (hyphenation, kerning...). These are not supported by the US version. Well, most american think there are only differences with the Umlauts, that's why the hyphenation of many handbooks made in the US are wrong (like the german CEDPro manual) :-( So, no way! You need a foreign version. I also prefer english menus for a Non-US program (that's fine with CED :-) > --Rick Wrigley fhwri@conncoll.bitnet ----- Wolf Faust UUCP:cbmvax.commodore.com!cbmehq!cbmger!venus!wfaust Tel: (+49)69 5486556 FIDO: 2:243/43.5
