Dear List,<br>
<br>
on February 7, JL had written some help to a user, and happened to
mention how he is using the Character Palette at<br>
<br>
menu <small>> insert > glyph...<br>
<br>
I am talking about Version 1.4.3 which is still the official
Version I have access to for Windows. And for our Linux computers,
as we have not managed yet to compile under OpenSuse.<br>
<br>
<br>
It took me a moment to copy what JL had done. I had to learn that
(surprisingly) the Unicode characters need to be defined in
decimal, rather than the more common U+nnnn and that for the name
of the font, the capitalization has to be strictly observed etc.
Then I also had to find the .ucp file - which happens to be a
hidden file on a default OpenSuse installation. I found that I can
just as easily make my own .ucp files or place it (or them) at a
more accessible location.<br>
<br>
Since I have appreciated the input from JL a lot, I would like to
write it up properly and place it at the right place on the Wiki
for the benefit of other users. Maybe it could even go into the
inbuilt help? I did look through the printed Scribus book and
through the existing online help, and could not find any hints.
Forgive me (and direct me) if it is already written somewhere.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
