[scribus] Problem with aligning the page numbers in a column...

[Jonas Bechtel]

In cases when it's not possible to convince the vendor, you could also
use the Fontforge program. Load then font, delete the glyph and then
re-export the font (with different name). Then ensure that it get's
loaded (so the naming is important and a complete restart of Scribus
may be needed).
