I don't know about Imagine 3.0, I have Imagine 4.0 (Get it:) )  In
4.0, magnetism grabs the point you select, and each surrounding point
a certain percent less based on the magnetism setting.  It works fine
for me :)

Again, in version 4.0... It works:)  Some fonts work, others pretty
much make no sense whatsoever.  I had to go over all the fonts and
figure out which ones rendered worth anything, and which didn't.

In conclusion, get the 4.0 upgrade :)  I never used 3.0, went from 2
to 4.  And 4.0 is a very well-written version.
