Maybe you have multiple layers and you have a different layer selected? That would mean you cannot select frames on other layers.

Last post by Snoddas - October 27, 2024, 03:01:58 PM
Something has happened with my document. I can't enter text in a new text frames. If I copy a text frame the text will not be copied and I can't enter new text.

If I create a new document everything work as normal.

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Free discussion / Quark's new features

I'm sure all QuarkXPress users will be delighted to know about the new features in the latest update, such as "improved UX" and "fair use practices" :o :-X :o

Can't wait for Scribus to get a few more professional features so it can kill off Quark and Adobe.

Thank you for the reply.I had been trying to print direct to the printer as i had done countless times before. I did as you suggest and saved a file as a PDF. I had bother picking the correct printer port in the driver ( not sure why that was needed? ) but the files printed fine just using paper.I can now print the labels now.Thank you for help it is much appreciated.

I guess the issue here is that the fonts for text frames are the ones installed in the PC.

The fonts for PDF form fields is just a setting telling the PDF viewer which font to use for the field, the fonts will be provided by the PDF viewer and not the PDF form?

are you printing directly to the printer? or are you creating a PDF and printing that? You should be doing the latter).

After updating to Scribus 1.6.2 the files I have created for printing labels in older versions will not print.These files printed no trouble before.
My printer sounds as if it is going to print but then doesn't. I have uninstalled the HP driver for my Officejet Pro 8620 and re-installed but still won't print.Any advice on what's going on and how to fix it would be apreciated.

PDF forms use the standard 14 PDF fonts.. search for those teams online and you'll get tons of returned sites.

Have you tried double clicking the pdf field after you create it? This window opens when I do double click it. I think this is what you are looking for.

The 14 fonts your are looking for should be in the drop down menu in the appearance tab.

Maybe open an issue on the bug tracker for this? https://bugs.scribus.net/
