Sounds like a perfectly good time to start a page on the wiki.. It would be worth producing a font table showing: - Known good for professional printing (top quality font, prefer these) - Known good for printing (eg. breaks a RIP but prints ok on a bubblejet) - Known good for web/presentations (actually loads and renders in Scribus and its PDFs ok.. but its a nasty font for printing/RIPing) - Known bad (send to /dev/null) Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
