I copied my windows true type fonts and added then to the search path but first I did mkfontscale mkfontsdir this works but the fonts do not show as true type in scribus; they print though as correct fonts
It seems that the afm u2g and/or t42 extensions are missing; they all show as Avant garde, my first example These can be got by cd /usr/X11R6/AbiSuite/bin && ./ttfadmin /home/somebody/fonts ISO-8859-1 Question: the above depends on having AbiWord and following their nutty font instal routine (which works for scribus too if you just set the include path) BUT if you add too many fonts the font dialog looks like QUARK but covers the whole screen which is unmanageable. Why not use the scroll technique like Abi and Word Perfect. I do not think imitating Quark in everything is a good idea. By the way using the default margin at 36 points the first letter of each line is CLIPPED. P.S. I think I sent this to mailman-owner@<etc> by mistake as it did not show in my inbox these last days.
