Hi, I dimly remember some previous exchange of thoughts about using ligatures in Scribus -- basicly, it was about having proper .afm files, right? So now I have some basic questions, how to get it up and running.
Q1: I added an additonal path to a Type1 font in Settings>Fonts>Additional Paths, how do I let Scribus know about its afm files? Long explanation: I've added this well designed Polish Type1 font ftp://ftp.gust.org.pl/pub/GUST/contrib/fonts/replicas/antp.zip, now I can use it in Scribus, but the afm files are located elsewhere. How does Scribus find them? Q2: How/when does Scribus substitute single glyphs with ligatures? Long explanation: According to it's description, some glyphs of this font should be replaced by ligatures, e.g. "f+f" should be substituted by "ff", "hyphen + hyphen" should be replaced by "ndash", etc. Does it happen in Scribus automatically while filling a text frame with text, or at another point of time? Q3: Could somebody deliver a very simple real life example with Scribus? many thanks in advance cheers Maciej
