Hmmm - curious indeed. Then as you have thought; it would seem to be a path problem.
But if you have Windows 10 - the next update will solve the whole problem; Trajan Pro will disappear from all of it! I have yet to install this latest Scribus. I downloaded it days back but this last few days are chaos. Tommorow morning I will punt it onto the machine with the Trajan Pro I half-hitched off the Win 7 machine and see what I can see. Be interesting to see what it does generally. I know that Illustrator can be fussy after swapping fonts; it wants a complete machine shutdown to see them. I am more fascinated by what Windows 10 is going to do when they see the font is still there after they wiped it in the last update. Anyway; that's another problem. Good night.
