This could be the issue. Duplicate fonts are not a good thing. Personally, I keep all True Type fonts in one directory and Type 1 fonts in another. Then for Scribus, if I want to add or subtract fonts on the fly, I add them to ~/.fonts and add this to my font paths in Scribus. I am not a fan of adding lots of extra directories for font paths. This I tend to manually add fonts or use Kfontinstaller and avoid font packages whether rpm or other packaging. Regards, Peter
