Hi all...I'm a Mac OS X (Panther version) user who just installed Fink and Scribus for the first time. It all went reasonably well, and from my initial poking around, Scribus looks like a great program. I've worked extensively in Quark, but this looks like a viable alternative. (I'd like to see an Aqua interface instead of X11, but I can live with that.)
I'm having one problem, though: I can't get Scribus to recognize my existing collection of Type1 and TrueType fonts. The only fonts currently available are Bitstream Charter, Courier, Luxi and Utopia. I have dozens of other fonts on my computer. I tried following the instructions which said to go to Edit->Preferences->Fonts and add "Additional Paths," but none of the fonts in the paths I added are showing up. I've tried it with a folder that contains Type1 fonts, and a folder that contains TrueType. The name of the TrueType font file is "Bickley Script LET Fonts." The Type1 font that I tried was "Arnold Boecklin," and the files in that font folder are named "ArnolBoe" (for the print font) and "Arnold Boecklin" (for the screen font). I don't have any .afm files for my fonts. Could that be my problem? Thanks for any advice! --Sheldon Rampton
