Read all of the pages on that link. A lot of groaning about text in Modo and a lot of solutions that require either buying/using another product.
I don't get it. Why is it so hard to make text work the way you would expect?
I am especially frustrated with the fact that if I use the text tool in Modo, setting the font to the same one in Illustrator, and type out a word, some of the characters are lop-sided on the rounded edges in Modo where they are not in Illustrator.
For example, I'm using Myriad Pro Bold in both Modo and Illustrator CS5. The capital C in Modo has a weird flange on it (as seen by the example photos below), where as Illustrator as you would expect, does not. So somehow Modo interprets fonts in a different way I guess, which is not really desirable.
