Hi Andreas, As well as Suse 9.3 system fonts I use Microsoft core and Adobe fonts + some freeware fonts.
All Microsoft and Adobe fonts I use sit on the beardline + most of Suse system fonts. Some freeware script fonts I have sit between the baselines. All fonts are consistent where they sit when threaded through the story even when two or more type faces are mixed in a text block. (That is why there is no problem because of this consistency - re threading from column to column). I always use a different layer for headings/subs - re type pt size and leading. I'll go through my document setup ...as I'm wondering if all this is font 'nature' and not a Scribus baseline bug. Font size 12pt Document size A4 Portrait Top margin 3.00p Bottom margin 3.50p Preferences/Document setup/Guides - Baseline Settings: Grid 1.20p (20%), Offset 3.00p Properties Pallette/ Text Font 12pt, Line spacing (leading) 14.4pt (20%) All mentioned in my last email, I can drop text down to the baseline by adjusting Top to about 0.30p (depending on the font it will in fact be either 0.30, 0.35 or 0.40). I hope I have explained this clearly? Also, I should mention that I no longer use Microsoft Windows (Win2K) so I can't test to check all this on Scribus Windows port. BTW I am now using Scribus professionally - goodbye InDesign :-) Thanks, Peter On Friday 12 May 2006 20:24, avox wrote: > tegan wrote: > > With reference to Bitstream vera sans, I had a good look through my fonts > > (on > > the baseline) and found most sit on the beardline, some on the baseline > > while > > others (mainly script fonts) sit between two baselines (that is, not > > touching > > the baseline at all). > > So it looks like a font problem?
