I understand your point and thanks for considering this experience. It might be as you say however it might not be since i replaced with a 4 character wich is an existing black triangle looking character. So how do i get this black triangle if not selecting 4 and changing its font ? An important thing in this usability discussion is that this happened in a less than one minute experience (i was just checking before answering to a mail on this discussion !). Sure, i can find a way to overcome that obstacle (close and reopen the app as proposes Richard). But I cannot accept to encounter et overcome such obstacles every minute in such a tricky way ! And please remember that this is just emerging from the last point in my reply about that un-usability conclusion. Strange however : some people are very happy with Scribus and seem to use it to do things close to what I need to do ! JL
