Yes, you're right! I have no such problem with the fonts in /usr/share/fonts (though I've only tried Bitstream Vera Roman). The problems come with the Computer Modern tfm fonts and the Type 1 pfb fonts that are part of the tex/latex package. Does anyone have experience of using such fonts in Scribus? I've seen quite a few posts about Type 1 fonts so presumably nobody has had similar problems with other kinds of Type 1 fonts? Terence
