Live text formatting:  CorelDRAW X4 introduces live text formatting, 

which lets users see how a text formatting change will look before applying it to 
a document. This handy and time-saving formatting aid reduces the need to 
undo and redo unsatisfactory changes. Users can now scroll through and 
preview many different formatting options, including fonts, font size, and 
alignment.

Font identification:  CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 now integrates 

with WhatTheFont™, the online font identification service from MyFonts.com. 
Users can save time by immediately identifying the font used in existing designs 
or artwork received from clients (English only).
