Hi Joe, outlining fonts always works fine. But it does come with a cost: - you text cannot be searched anymore and copy-and-paste does not work - the quality might be worse on screens as an outlined text cannot be hinted and kerned - in print the printer cannot adjust the text when needed
Why are you not using the 1.5-series of Scribus. I am using it for years and it does a much better job for me then 1.4. Just remember that once you saved a file with 1.5 you cannot go back to 1.4 as it won't open it.
