Now the tab for Additional Font Paths is grayed out.
To recap, thus far I have added the /usr/share/fonts/ directory to /etc/fonts/font.conf and run fc-cache. Rebooted but no effect. Following another suggestion I added /usr/share/fonts/ to the list of font locations in the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11. Rebooted but no effect. Following your suggestion I tried a dynamic add via settings->fonts-> Additional font paths. I didn't get the fonts but I did lose that tab. Friends and neighbors, this isn't, or shouldn't be rocket science. Let me ask: how do I successfully add type 1 fonts to Scribus, given a Slackware system and Scribus 1.2 build date 28 Aug 2004? And BTW how and where do I fix the problem with the grayed out tab? Should I delete the .scribus directory in my home directory and allow Scribus to reconfigure itself? Do a full Scribus recompile and reinstall? Commit hari kari? -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf
