As Craig Ringer said, this wouldnt be appropriate as a downloadable as part of the main Scribus package. What we plan is a method for you do be able to grab fonts from distributions' font repositories out on the net. It will tie in with the font replacement dialog when you dont have a font installed, and will allow network setups to have a common font dir to install from etc. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
