But scribus cant handle the pmd files. The desktop publishers edits the documents created by us as a final touch up before publishing it. They still uses pmd format for this purpose. When I tried to use pagemaker using wine, its working fine. But when i tried to type malayalam by changing the keyboard layout, only some question marks (?) are coming. So I tried to install some malayalam ascii fonts. But all are in .pfm/.pfb format, which cant be recognised by our OS.
Can u pls tell me some ttf malayalam fonts.... On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 10:09 AM, JAGANADH G <[email protected]> wrote: > Scribus is an Open Source Application equvialnt to Pagemaker.
