Now it tends to be applied to adjustments in the space between letters. If you do this in a global sort of way, this seems to be referred to a work tracking, though to me I think this is a badly constructed term, since it might theoretically mean you just change the space between words. In Scribus, you can see that there is only one process, changing the space between letters. If your cursor is between two letters, only that space is adjusted. If you highlight a few letters, a word, a sentence or a paragraph, only the spaces between glyphs in the highlighted area are adjusted. If you simply use a selected frame not in Edit Contents mode you adjust the spaces between all the glyphs. Kerning is probably most often done as an aesthetic choice, when the automatic space between glyphs doesn't look quite right. Word tracking is a very common operation in publications like newspapers, where one is trying to fix some ugliness or squeeze more words into a narrow fully justified column of text.

It looks like a different font was used or a different codepage. As I use scribus only once or twice a year and are not a DTP trained person, I expect the error to be mine. In the attached "screenshot.png" I show some details from scribus: - When moving through edit text the font selected, fonts size etc do not change - The fonts are embedded When I open the pdf on my ubuntu PC I see the proper text. My questions are: - Where did I go wrong? - How could I have spotted that? - Is there a website where you upload a pdf, and it presents you with an image, how the pdf looks "really", when not on your computer? Thanks for all your efforts, Ciao, Felix -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This converts them from a font to a drawing object on my machine. That way one can be sure to eliminate font interpretation problems on different pcs/operating systems. Of course the resulting pdf is only for printing/displaying purposes, as there is no more searchable text in it.

Becuase the PC you use have the right fonts, so you wouldn't spot a non-embedded font issue on your own PC. You could for example do a small installation in a virtual machine under Virtualbox, or even use a live CD to preview your PDF. /Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
