** You can have very good free fonts too... :-) >Loading font /usr/share/fonts/my_serif/GoudyOldStyleSmallCapsandOSF.ttf >(found using fontconfig) >Font /usr/share/fonts/my_serif/GoudyOldStyleSmallCapsandOSF.ttf has broken >glyph 65535 (charcode 65535) >I've searched for an answer ** In font attributes, ulCharRange (define all code ranges) by there summation, 65536 = UR1_BENGALI. It's only can I give you as answer. If this one is on or not !?! only edit souce can say that. >Oddly, several of fonts in the Linotype Goudy OS family gave me problems >on installation.

And don't stop to use Scribus :-) ** About your font: - Try to refresh it, by using a safe copy ( ALWAYS MAKE A COPY OF YOUR FONTS AND LICENSES) if you haven't try this way. - You can used tools to regenerated or dump your font: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/DevToolsOverview.mspx - Microsoft tools aren't easy to use without font knowledge.
