Yes. But afaik this is available only for OpenType fonts. The Expert sets are PostScript Type 1 fonts. Provided the upgrade pricing policy from Adobe to actually "side-grade" and even though ID and the coming QXP7 support OpenType, we are not very likely to see a tide of OpenType fonts... But things can change fast, I agree! Nonetheless, the Super Search & Replace has other benefits *plus* this one! > _______________________________________________ > Scribus mailing list > Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de > http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus > -- Louis Desjardins Mardigrafe inc.
