How do I add an additional font path in Scribus version 1.6.4? (portable app)

Hi

I use the portable version of Scribus on MSWindows (www.portableapps.com) and I would like to include a font folder in the setup where I keep various fonts I downloaded. (Thus I would like to treat the whole setup as "data" to avoid having to configure different machines).

However I can not add the additional font path.
- Menu 'File' / 'Preferences'
- 'Fonts' selection
- 'Additional paths' tab

--> no button to add an additional path

In 1.6.5 svn (unreleased, which I installed through the installer, there is an 'Add button'.

Is there a solution/workaround for this?

Hello MrB

Thank you for answering so quickly!

Yes, restarting Scribus and no open document allowed me to add a fonts folder local to the portable app installation!

After restarting I could use a font from that fonts folder. This is great as it allows me to have a font collection for Scribus traveling on a pen drive from computer to computer.

The path to it is an absolute path - it would be nice if it would be a relative path. However I can live with the fact that I need to check/adapt the path on a different computer using the portable app if this this can not be implemented easily.
