Good news, my guess is that you have problems with the right-align-bug of Scribus.
It has to do with certain fonts, which have encoded the "CR" aka U+000D while most fonts have "nothing" at this position. Both options are legal, but Scribus is "doing something special" when right-aligning (by tab or other function) text which contains C+000D. My guess is that you are using Gentium but I do not see what version of course. This is the good news: Gentium is made available by SIL and I told SIL about this problem a few years ago. They have agreed to remove their "glyph" at U+0001 for all future releases. I personally did a test just now (like Greg) and it works just fine for me, using Scribus 1.5.4 and Gentium basic 1.102 from 2013. I mean all page numbers perfectly align, I tried one-digit up to four digit page-numbers and long and short "chapter titles". Every time I attach something, this mail-server is yelling at me. So please believe me or let me know how to send you a screen-shot. So all you might need is a fresh download of the font or a more recent Scribus or to look at Greg's notes about setting up a style with the tab (right-align). hth Martin On 13.09.2018 17:50, Thomas Hoy wrote: > For some reason, I can't get these page numbers to align properly. > Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this ? > The numbers are right up against the edge of the text box, yet they are > somewhat crooked, and I can't get them to behave ! > Any advice would be much appreciated.
