Hi, I'm a newbie. Before Scribus Portable 1.4.1, I used to work with Adobe InDesign for publishing magazines. Not sure if my problem is categorized as "instability", but it looks instable to me, sorry. It's about adding font in Scribus.
Please pardon me if my English is garbled *grin*, I'm Indonesian
I'm using Windows XP SP3. Previously I run Scribus Portable in my D drive where I keep all my works. Today I decided to delete it, and start all over again, this time run the Scribus Portable exe in my C (system) drive. Hoping that Scribus will recognise where I store my fonts (in C:\Windows\Fonts) *does it sound silly?* I've tried this after I see no result in adding font path (Preferences > Fonts > Additional Path). This is because I don't see the font I want in the Properties > Text dropdown.
My next attempt : I've tried creating a text. Go to Edit > Edit Text. And wondering if the Setting tab will help. Under Setting > Display Font > Select Font, I found the font that I want (Harabara.ttf) to use is listed here. I highlight the font > OK, and I see the text is now in the format I want. Hoping that this will affect the text in the document, I click "Update Text Frame and Exit". I see the text remains in Arial. I realized that this is only font DISPLAY, not format *sad*
So, can you or anyone here kindly help me? and please use daily English since I'm not familiar with tech-y
Thanks
Dee
Hi Bruno,
I am the packager of Scribus Portable. Please, if you do notice any stability issues, let me know!
The files provided when you install Scribus Portable are identical to those provided when you install Scribus for desktop use, there's just a redirection of your user files happening, and replacement of drive/paths in case you move the portable package to a new computer or new location on your computer.
Hope that helps!
