Thanks Bert. It's nice to have a reply from someone who reads one's post carefully and who replies with something pertinent - rather than taking it as an opportunity to embark on a flight of irrelevant invective against their pet hate.
I think I must have got TRAJAN PRO with Adobe Premier and it shows up in that program. I still don't know why it won't work with Scribus or GIMP. I have downloaded CINZEL and it looks like it will be a good substitute.
