Yes, they were. As a matter of fact, I tried different obvious ways to rectify our problem but in order for us to get that magazine release on time, I had to run a remastered LiveCD and use 1.3.3.4 and the text were OK. The typefaces we used were a mixture of GPLed TTFs and Postscript Type 1s. As it is, the problem remains and we are hopeful that the Scribus community may have some answers and/or solutions for us. -- ?@??hie? I believe that my growth has reached an impasse.
