Dear Haakan, sorry for your troubles, I did more testing after your second mail. I used an existing document with six already existing pages. Then added page number into a master page.
Now I requested the master page to be applied to all six pages and I got page numbers correctly visible for all pages inside Scribus. But when I do PDF export from Scribus (default settings), I get only pages 2 and 6 numbered nicely and empty boxes where page-numbers 1, 3, 4, 5 should be. Then I tried another PDF export with outline-all-fonts (which is my personal default because of our exotic language situation) and I got pages 2, 4, 6 numbered nicely and no boxes, just white space, where page-numbers 1, 3, 5 should be. I agree with you now, that applying page-numbering to a master page and then applying that modified master page to existing pages does result in properly visible pages within Scribus and erratic PDF-export. I did not try printing from Scribus, because I could re-create your problem with the PDF-export and did not want to punish any forest for this. Sorry, at the moment I do not have more time. But if you want to file a bug report and mail the link, I will try again your "how to reproduce" and will confirm to the bug-tracker for my system. Thank you for sharing this information. Personally I hope that you will find a workaround for the moment. You might try to first prepare your master page and then have Scribus generate fresh pages, while using the master page. Then you could try copy&pasting your existing document from another Scribus instance. I discovered once how to select an entire page (even over several layers) by using the "Outline" window (menu > Windows > Outline). You will loose the layer-information but might be able to rescue your existing work from the former version. But I do not know how extensive your document is and whether it would work on your system. hth Martin On 08.03.2017 18:36, H?kan L?fgren wrote: > Greg, this is not a font problem, have tried more fonts. > > Martin, I have also done exactly like you, started a new document.
