Scribus 1.3.8 and Fontmatrix 0.6.99 on Fedora 13, x86_64. Two perplexing issues:
1) Scribus finds the following fonts, which do not exist on the computer, as far as I can tell: Hershey-Gothic-English Hershey-Gothic-German Hershey-Gothic-Italian Hershey-Plain-Duplex Hershey-Plain-Duplex-Italic Hershey-Plain-Triplex Hershey-Plain-Triplex-Italic Hershey-Script-Complex Hershey-Script-Simplex A filesystem search on Hershey turned up nothing, although the file name could be something else. More interestingly, Fontmatrix does not find them. Note: Fontmatrix crashes if any fonts are modified or deleted while it is running. And it does not refresh the font list when it is launched unless you manually delete the .Fontmatrix folder to force it to rebuild its list of fonts. I deleted the .Fontmatrix folder, but Fontmatrix still does not see any fonts named Hershey. Even more interesting, applying any of the Hershey fonts to text in Scribus causes the text to appear as all underscores in the canvas. Google turned up a website which lists even more Hershey fonts and says they are "fonts converted from Hershey outlines." Apparently the site lists Type 1 fonts to be used with Ghostscript. Any elucidation is welcome. 2) My workhorse font is Junicode, a free open source font that is completely unrestricted. Scribus refuses to embed it when exporting as PDF, listing it in fonts to be outlined instead. In Preferences > Fonts it is checked that it can be embedded. Outlining it is not acceptable because my PDFs need to be searchable. Any suggestions or workarounds are welcome.
