[Scribus] cvs bugs

Hello!

Now I'll try it in english:

This ist the main difference between DTP- and Office. And it's of course
a difference between True Type-Fonts und Type1-Fonts.

It is not a problem of scribus, that you can't transform "Arial" in
"Arial Italic" (or every other Fontstyle) by clicking on a style button
like "italic" or "bold". I had the same problem in every other DTP-tool
like Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 too, especially when I created a document for
offset-printing, but even when I created a document for printing on a
ps-printer.

Over the years I've learned, that I have to use the *right* font in the
*right* style. That's DTP :)

> replace the font by it's italic brother

Then Scribus would be the first programme with this feature. That would
be quite cool!

Or something like the auto-check-tool in InDesign2.0? But this feature
is on my Scribus wishlist not earlier then for the 3.x-version ;-)

Have a nice day
