I guess no one has any idea about the error I'm getting with pdftops as I reported in Vol 34, No 51!!??<br>

I got one reply from a guy in Holland I wrote to who thinks it may be a corruption of the pfd file caused by ver1.3.9 - I'm not sure about this and I can't remember if I was using 1.3.8 or 1.3.9 before.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts or comments from anyone on this one? <br>

Many of us get this as individual emails, not as a digest. Maybe if you were to give us a few details, somebody might have an idea. <br>

Hi Joe - this was my original post....<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Hi All<br>
<br>
I've just been finishing off my Monthly Journal produced in Scribus 1.3.9 and the last step is to reduce the PDF file size using 'pdftops' and 'ps2pdf' as discussed before on this Forum. It has worked for the past 2 or 3 months for me and I even went back and compressed all my past issues for this year.<br>
<br>
Today - using the same commands as before I get the following whole string of errors...<br>
<br>
small selection...<br>
<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "gaf" of "arabic_gaf_bar" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "arabic" of "arabic_dot" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "dot" of "arabic_dot" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "arabic" of "arabic_2dots" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "2dots" of "arabic_2dots" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "arabic" of "arabic_3dots" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "3dots" of "arabic_3dots" in parseCharName<br>
Error: Could not parse ligature component "arabic" of "arabic_3dots_a" in parseCharNam<br>
<br>
Anyone got any idea what is going on please???<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Scribus 1.3.9 & Kubuntu 10.04</div></div><br></blockquote></div><br>Ian,<br>Some may be, like me, totally ignorant of pdftops and ps2pdf. In addition, I'm lost with respect to your reference to "Vol 34, No 51", I have no clue what that refers to. <br>
<br>BTW, I updated my Scribus-ng last week and got 1.4.0 as a result. Can't tell much difference from 1.3.9, but I'm about to finish my issue of the magazine for this quarter with 1.4.0 and it seems to work pretty well.<br clear="all">
