Kramy	Hi Lisa, please email clwinbeta@plasq.com - and we might be able to help you with the slow loading of Comic Life now. Thanks.

Do you have a heap of photos in your My Pictures folder? We have found this to be a cause of most of the slow load issues -- as a workaround if you move them to another directory it should this issue. We hope to have this issue improved in our next release. 2) When I try to close project, the whole program closes instead. Yes, this is currently how it is implemented. We are discussing changing this. I'd vote for changing this. Especially given the slow load if you have a lot of pictures in My Pictures (enough that I don't really want to move them around just to work around this), it's annoying to have to start over any time I close a document, especially when I'm learning and experimenting with the program. 3) The other problem I've encountered is that fonts in other languages (I've tried Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Japanese) show up in the font window as options, but then don't affect the lettering, which just appears in the default (English) font. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation of the current version? Currently you can't change the font after placing it on the comic. We are also looking at changing this. Also, the default font of Lettering - Foo - is not capable of displaying other languages - you have to change to something like MS Gothic. See the other messages below for stuff I learned about foreign language fonts and which ones work where. Again, many thanks. This is a nifty program. Thanks for your great feedback.

Lisa	More experimenting reveals that fonts that show up as Symbol or Other under "Script" in the lettering font dialogue box don't work, while those few foreign language fonts that show up as Western do. Thanks.
Lisa	After a bit more experimentation, I've found that other language fonts do seem to work in text boxes, but not as lettering. Thanks.
Lisa	This is a great program. I will definitely be purchasing it when testing is done. Here are the glitches I've encountered: 1) I've found it slow to load--enough that each time I worry that it's hung up. 2) When I try to close project, the whole program closes instead. 3) The other problem I've encountered is that fonts in other languages (I've tried Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Japanese) show up in the font window as options, but then don't affect the lettering, which just appears in the default (English) font.
