[scribus] scribus Digest, Vol 132, Issue 8

[claude]

I do a car club newsletter. When I could no longer use Pagemaker I 
started using Scribus. My main computers are Ubuntu Linux. Some fonts in 
Scribus would not give me all the options I needed. (Bold, italic, 
italic bold etc.) My printing company uses all Windows based software. 
When I would send the PDF down, if the font was different on the picture 
captions it got all screwed up. Scribus did not not have Times New Roman 
(I used that with Pagemaker) Once I installed Times New Roman fonts as a 
preference all my problems went away.

Good Luck!

When I now export the pdf-file, there is no problem at all. That shows that you are right when you say that the size of the pdf-file has nothing to do with the problem.

I'm guessing there is some place where we could all look at it and see the issue without needing to run code to get the PDF file, perhaps archive.org? Or perhaps this mailing list accepts small attachments?
