<br>
outlining fonts always works fine. But it does come with a cost:<br>
- you text cannot be searched anymore and copy-and-paste does not work<br>
- the quality might be worse on screens as an outlined text cannot be<br>
hinted and kerned<br>
- in print the printer cannot adjust the text when needed<br>
<br>
Why are you not using the 1.5-series of Scribus. I am using it for years<br>
and it does a much better job for me then 1.4. Just remember that once<br>
you saved a file with 1.5 you cannot go back to 1.4 as it won't open it.<br>
