Craig, thanks for your informative reply. I do not know how long you and others on this list have been around Linux/Unix, but I'm sure it's longer than the 3 months that I have been exposed to Linux. My position is largely that of the students who enroll in my beginning college-level Accounting classes. They know little about Accounting, and I know little about Linux. But I'm curious, and I'm willing to learn. I have written a book that I am self publishing. The writing is complete. I probably should have turned it over to an experienced desktop publisher (and said, "I've done my part, now you do yours"), but I have decided to do it myself, although I have hired a lady to do the graphic design of the book's cover. The interior design is my job, and I have been learning about fonts, typography, DTP, book binding, paper, etc. So please be patient with me as I try to learn about Linux, Scribus, etc.
I might add that Robin Williams's book and her coverage of those 4 font management utilities make font management sound and look Simple. So far to me, fonts on Linux (except Scribus--I like its "Path to Font File" tab, which worked perfectly for me) seem far more complicated, but I must admit, I know too little about fonts on Linux to assess the situation knowledgeably. _______________________________________________ Scribus mailing list Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Font-management-programs-tf2762048.html#a7705468 Sent from the Scribus mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
