with W2k/sp4: My apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but I have finally realized that subscribing to the digest defeats the convenience of efficient searching.
I have searched the wiki, the documentation and the manual that I purchased, and I can find no help for this issue: I'm using OpenOffice for the text that I write or format and the Get Text item to load that to Scribus. I would like to be able to use the additional fonts installed with Scribus in my OO files (so I can become more familiar with the different fonts you so graciously provide me). I cannot find a way to install them in OO: the help file at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ tells me to create a local.conf file in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf which it criptically say you can "usually find." Not only does the file not exist but the directory doesn't either. I have fonts.conf files for Gimp and Inkscape and Ghostscript but not for OO - that I can find searching the complete system. So, I'd be really grateful if I can get advice on how to use the Scribus installed true types in my OO. Should I just install them with the Windows font installer? Would that redundancy break anything in Scribus (1.3.6, currently)? Barry McKenna
