Media Logic?  Foreign characters (at least the Scandinavian chars I
played with) worked perfectly with TopDraw.  How come this is suddenly
Media Logic's problem?
I bought two copies of Draw the day it came out, and AppSoft answered
to my complaints about kerning of foreign characters by aknowledging
the existence of the problem.  I did not get idea of when the problem
is going to be fixed.

Randy again aknowledges the problem.  I still have no idea as of when
AppSoft is going to fix this (big) problem that renders Draw pretty
much unusable for users of foreign characters.  

When can we expect a working version of Draw that supports even approximately 
proper kerning of foreign characters?
