This leaves the word “Fresh” to be stacked above the word
“Antiques” on the storefront. Matching the perspective will be
easier than you think: You can make a duplicate of the word
“ANTIQUES,” un-extrude it, edit the text, recolor the text
and use a different font, and then re-extrude the text. Xara
remembers your last saved extrude settings, making it easy to
toggle an extrude on and off for editing.

highlighted, reduce the tracking to 0.
