Hello! Now I'll try it in english:
> ok, I can accept to use "Arial Medium Italic" instead of "Arial Medium" > with style "Italic", but for many people, this will bring about confusion: > most people are used to word-processors (kword, soffice, MS Word) and > there you select "Arial Medium" with style "Italic". This ist the main difference between DTP- and Office. And it's of course a difference between True Type-Fonts und Type1-Fonts. It is not a problem of scribus, that you can't transform "Arial" in "Arial Italic" (or every other Fontstyle) by clicking on a style button like "italic" or "bold". I had the same problem in every other DTP-tool like Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 too, especially when I created a document for offset-printing, but even when I created a document for printing on a ps-printer. Over the years I've learned, that I have to use the *right* font in the *right* style. That's DTP :) > So maybe a small feature request: > if an italic-font exists for a font where style italic has been choosen, > replace the font by it's italic brother Then Scribus would be the first programme with this feature. That would be quite cool! > if the result of an operation (like this italic-style on a regular font) > is known to cause unexpected pdf output, display a warning on screen (but > this one is probably much more difficult to implement) Or something like the auto-check-tool in InDesign2.0? But this feature is on my Scribus wishlist not earlier then for the 3.x-version ;-) Have a nice day Matthias
