Shall I send an attachment of these? <snip> No need. 1) That video font has something broken. Not recommended for use with Scribus. Adobe Type Manager choked on it too, indicating something amiss. 2) wingdings.ttf and webdings.ttf have non-standard encodings and are known to be troublesome in postscript - not just Scribus. I have seen issues with wingdings on Indesign 2.02, Pagemaker and Win2k. When I setup Pit Stop, which pre-flights PDF's for press, these fonts are flagged - if only to be sure they embed properly - which is not always the case. The other fonts which I know do not work because of the iffy quality is the Hershey fonts which are installed in Suse. I do not understand why these fonts are even installed they are so faulty. > > I have 200 others working fine. >
