Hi Greg, So it appears that i can't use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures Well, there's any workaround or solution? I mean, this happens with the most of my fonts, and i think that the sets are complete but Scribus don't know how to "interprete" or render it. I can't understand why that alternates aren't mapped. For example, what happens if i buy this font from here MyFonts <http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/din-next/> and when i try to use it with THAT feature set with my professional DTP and open source graphic tool doesn't support it? I think, IMHO, that it isn't and advanced feature. Again, i guess i'll try downgrading from 1.5 to see if this happens too.
