For preparing a two-monthly (4 pages) internal publication, I switched from
Publisher to Scribus-ng (German language version), last year. I'm keeping the
version up-to-date via sources.list from
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian lucid main
Currently, 1.4.0.rc2 is installed.
In the publication - for compatibility reasons - I only use the standard
windows fonts Arial and Times New Roman. Today, opening an archived publication
(from last month) failed with a crippled document view, (presumably) due to
font problems:
In the document view, all characters are either enlarged (to about the double
previous size) or as red frames. In the F2-window, the enlarged characters are
assigned Bitstream Charter, the red frames Andale Mono font.
Although the Andale Mono font is actually installed, the characters become
legible only after re-assigning any font (including Andale Mono) via the
F2-window.
Any hints on how to solve the fonts problem - or at least to get back to a
useable version for my next publication?
