Full Version: Using the Corel Clipart CD

If you are using Corel try using Font Navigator for your fonts. DO NOT install too many fonts in the windows font directory, move them in and out using Fontnav. My recommendation would be to set your fonts up in a directory with the same setup as you see on the Corel disks. I have attached a JPEG of how I have my fonts installed on my drive. I have over 35,000 fonts on my system and never have more than 800 installed at any one time.

For clipart, I just copied them to the harddrive.
For some things I need a lot, I renamed them time permitting, adding a name that is searchable using the regular windows search.

Sometimes it works to just add a descriptive name to the category folder so it will show up in a name search. I have various corel versions, a clipart collection, smart designs and engraving clipart collections. A windows searh will display them all at once. The more recent ones have a viewable thumb if you go to thumbs view.

I found a very well designed font manager as freeware with no spyware before I heard of font navigator. It works so well, I haven't tried font nav, but it is on the ever growing list of things to try if the stupid customers would quit ordering stuff. (devil) 

This previous message explains it. Basically it lets you view fonts even if they aren't installed. I do a lot of logo recreation so I sorted the fonts by type so I can search similar fonts for subtle differences quickly. I also have them in separate folders by alphabet so there are duplicates but makes it easier to find them either by name or font type.

I imagine font nav is similar but I can't imagine it working better than this free one.
