Further to my posting earlier Ciao, you said. ?you can import pages from one .sla file to another .sla file.?
Do you mean that one can add an sla file to a ready open one? If so, how do you do that?

That said I have an issue I'd appreciate some help with. And it is 'me' (not Scribus) who has the issue - I use InDesign and work and would have the same problem there! The font I'm using (supplied with my Kyocera printer) seems to have some glyphs in unusual locations. I'm wondering if anyone has done, or it's possible to use the scripting feature to batch search and replace? At the moment I'm having to do a search and replace for every (unlinked)frame and every glyph. It's a little tedious! Anyway, before I try to delve into learning Python I thought I'd check I'm not reinventing the wheel.

I responded to Ivan's post with a COMMENT of my own just to complete the picture as I saw it from my side. To this I got a VERY rude comment back from a.l.e. which I felt was totally out of character and very offensive. (most unlike him I must say as he is always VERY helpful to us all!!) I was merely pointing out that not only was I also not getting any postings but could also not SEND in a posting!! I assumed that it was a Server problem and just thought it a good idea to put this out to the Group for whoever's "job" it was to watch such things. I had NO idea who this would be or that there was going to be a move to a new Server as this had NOT been mentioned in the forum!! I feel my comment was taken completely out of context - I was NOT complaining I was commenting!!! Anyway - that's enough - let it rest!! The question I had been trying to post was.... I've just noticed a funny problem in my monthly publication! My Master Pages have a "Header" and "Footer" containing Publication ID, Date and Page Numbers. I created these "Headers" and "Footers" by positioning Text Boxes at the top and bottom of each Master Page. The font I selected for the text in these locations is Bitstream and indeed when I'm working with the .sla file the text _IS_ in the Bitstream font. BUT after exporting to PDF all the text in the "Headers" and "Footers" shows up as Verdana, (my default font). Any Bitstream font in the body of the publication comes out right in the conversion to PDF, it's just the "Headers" and "Footers" that don't show up correctly!! Anyone got any ideas about this?? My set-up is Linux Mint 10 KDE and Scribus 1.4.0 RC5. Ian Whitfield Pretoria. -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How does one use the same mechanism, (or is there a similar mechanism available), for applying CHARACTER styles to the imported text? I feel certain this must be possible, otherwise I might have to learn how to program in Python to create a script to do it. Cheers.
