Hi, I tried to use the maestro percussion font and it works the way it should. At least with scribus 1.5.4 on my linux box. I think the trouble is not the font itself but the way Kevin tries to enter the glyphs. The way I did:
- Create a new textframe - Select Maestro Percussion from the text properties window - Choose menu Insert -> Symbol... - Klick the left most icon and choose the glyphs you like to insert by double klick The Maestro Percussion font has a very limited set of glyphs and none of them is associated to any key on the keyboard. Btw.: I use a scribus version localized to german. Therefore, the correct menu items may be named differently.
