A quick glance at the program's site suggests that there cannot be such a
serious problem

How does Corel® XMetaL® 4 support Unicode?
Corel XMetaL 4 features UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding in conformance with
Unicode 3.0 for the transparent display and editing of all left-to-right
reading languages. Unicode support is available in the document window, as
well as in the customizable interface elements (e.g., menu items and toolbar
names) found in Corel XMetaL 4 and the macro script-editing interface.

-and a number of other encouraging paragraphs. So what is the problem ?
