Hi Wilfred:
Thanks for your reply. The problem I had was that in /usr/local/share/fonts,
I had Officina as a TTF and a OTF file, I removed the TTF file and I get
correct results, ie the same font ini two different formats.
Thanks for your help,
Kind Regards,
Alan

Well if by Latin script you mean Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian, etc., then
