I'm having a difficult time with fonts. I installed scribus om my laptop (mdk9.1 + WinXP fonts) and everything worked lovely. Now I build a dedicated 2700 athlon on Nforce2 board[dual screen :-)] with 512 meg ram. I installed WinXp then mdk9.1 and ripped the fonts. (Do you think this should be powerful enough for 48 page A3 weekly newspaper (some color some B&W).
the font problem: 1)Now a document created with the notebook's fonts doesnt show in scribus, but it exports correctly. 2)Xpdf doesnt want to print an A3 sized pdf as a4. (printer is a HP1220c). 3)Kghostview doesnt open the pdf correctly, but it prints a3's. 4)Acrobat5 doenst want to install, and acro4 installs but buggers up one of the fonts printing a block where there should be a space. 5) And finally scribus prints beautifully, except it buggers up ? (\"e, \^e etc.). I think it should have to do with the character encoding, but I dont know where to start. Thanks Kobus Wolvaardt P.S.
