Using Scribus 1.3.3.12 on Intrepid x86_64. I need to insert glyphs such as Unicode 26a. In the story editor I choose Insert > Glyph and it pops up a display of the glyphs in the font being used. However, the character 26a does not appear. If I manually type 26a in the box in the lower left corner of the Insert > Glyph dialog box the Insert button remains grayed out.
The font definitely has this glyph, as I use it all the time in OOo. In fact, lots of glyphs from this font do not appear in the Insert > Glyph window. I also tried Ctrl-Shift-u plus 26a followed by a space, which inserts the glyph in other Linux programs, but it does not work in Scribus. Is there a special secret way to enter glyphs by typing their Unicode number? And why does Scribus not display all the glyphs in a font? I dimly remember a discussion of this a long time ago on this list, but I can't find the thread. I also scoured the wiki but couldn't find the answer there either.
