2. 64-bit system
- Limitations -
1. The user can flip individual letters horizontally, vertically or horizontally & vertically. If a text string contains letters with different heights, a shorter letter may be vertically aligned to the top. If they intend to upend one or more letters, the user should consider capitalizing all letters.
2. TextAround 3 does not merely rotate individual letters in order to make the whole collection circular. Rather, it will create a linear image with the collection of letters, first. It will then make this linear image circular. If individual letters look distorted, the user should consider decreasing the font text size, increasing the circular radius.
3. The user cannot include the line break in the collection of letters.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
