What is the SE display font? I created a style using Junicode bold, 20 points. I wish to enter several characters from the IPA block in Unicode. One of them is 026a, another is 0283 and another (from combining diacriticals) is 0361. I have used these characters in this font for years in other programs, but Scribus seems to think that this font does not have those glyphs. They do not appear in the Insert > Glyph drop-down window. even though that font is selected in the window. A lot of other glyphs do not appear as well. In 1.3.3.12 I am completely stuck because F12 does not work. In 1.3.5 I can at least use the standard Linux method of Ctrl-Shift-u, followed by the code and spacebar. However, while the characters appear in the story editor, in the text frame I see just empty square boxes. This is on Intrepid x86_64, both 1.3.3.12 and 1.3.5 installed via Synaptic. I recently downloaded the March 26 beta release of Jaunty and tried it there. That is, with Jaunty running off the live CD I installed the Junicode font, installed both versions of Scribus, then tried it again. I got the same results. What I don't understand is why Scribus does not see all the glyphs in the fonts.
