Beginner Talk / "Universal" character style?
Last post by nightshift - March 28, 2023, 12:10:06 AM
Ok, the topic title probably isn't correct, but I had a hard time thinking of how to state the problem succinctly.
Using 1.5.6 on Debian. I have a document that has quite a few paragraph styles mainly being used for titles, headings, and body text, which covers the font, font size, line spacing etc.

What I want to do is create a number of character styles for changing just the font color, or adding emphasis, and be able to apply those to select words regardless of the paragraph style applied. IE, I have a heading style that is 18pt text, automatic line spacing and a few other settings, and I have a body text style that is 12pt, align to baseline, indents defined. I want to create a character style that would, in effect, change just the selected text red and be able to apply that to either paragraph style, without disturbing the size, font and spacing already set.

Is this possible, or do I need to create a character style for each paragraph style that this change might get applied to?

Backups are a real necessity, writing to ssd's actually wears them out.  I personally trust old spinning rust more than a solid state drive. I have a couple of server grade drives (HGST) 1800 days of service and no errors yet...

It worked !  THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  I upgrades to the 1.5.8 and checked 'image cache' and so far everything works.

for the collect for output

File>Collect for Output

then just select a directory where you want the files saved to
it moves all the files for your document, sla, images, fonts

for the image cache, but it looks like that is in 1.5.8
Files>Preferences>Image Cache

but then I am using 1.5.8 
maybe you could try using that version too?

PatJr.   I tried to move everything to the main harddrive of my computer and had the same problem.

Now I'm a bit lost when you say 'collect for output'  and when you ask me if I have 'image cache enabled'.  I dont know and how can I check that.

just spit balling here
maybe try and move to all to a local drive, a solid state type if possible, with 'collect for output'

do you have the image cache enabled?

As an additionnal information I remembre that Scribus crashed 2 times some days before.  It crashed as I was moving objects from one page to another if I recall.
