I think you have misunderstood. Those S fonts are available to (eg) Open Office, KOfice and Abiword. There is no question of their not being installed. Yet if I open a new document in Scribus 1.3.4 or in !.3.3.9 those fonts shown as S in an existing document are simply not listed at all. Clearly Scribus is not recognising 3 fonts in a directory while recognising many others in the same directory, while other apps have no such problem. -- Regards, Brian
