Good for you ! I hate Word. I hate Bill Gates for creating it and I hate anyone who pays them money to perpetuate it.
- the heart breaking little swine that it is . . . But; having now been forced as far as editing the registry to stifle the damned Cortana . . . I suspect this fonts business will become more and more of a hassle. Certainly if Scribus can mark a font as "bad" . . . that kinda' suggests it can have other opinions about them too. Jo said that Trajan Pro wasn't working. My own copy popped shut after a windows 10 update. So I offered that as a suggestion. The business model is simple; the various fonts store sell the Microsoft fonts for cash; fonts like Trajan Pro. - and yet till recently they were also given away for free in Windows . . . Hmmm - that surely must have created cries of "foul" from the font shops; and an outbreak of slobbering from Microsoft. - why give something away fo free; when they could sell it for ?49 Gosh; what a conundrum . . . what to do . . . what to do . . . . So the latest update scrubbed the same "free" fonts that they were also selling for money on the fonts shops. Hence my copy of Trajan Pro disappeared. The question is; how long will it take MS to figure out that I have the Win 10 update . . . yet I still have a copy of Trajan Pro originally supplied in a Win 7 package? - probably about 0.02 seconds after they read this email. Good night.
