I made a font character very large but, somehow it became the default for scribus and I am unable to get out of a new document because of it; I can't accomplish anything because I am now unable to click on anything. The only way I can stop the program is with the CTRL ALT DEL. When I restart Scribus, the huge characters are there again. I reinstalled Scribus and the problem was there. (I have Scribus 1.4.6 in Windows 10 on HP Pavilion laptop) Solution?
you can reset the default font in
file > preferences > tools > text ...
and for the current file in
file > document setup > tools > text
does it work?
but i've never heard of huge text leading to performance problems...
As I have said, am unable to click on anything; the menus are so huge, clicking on FILE to get to PREFERENCES for example shows nothing, there is no response, nothing shows up under it. I had done a big letter A but it became a default. The menu line became so long because of the big size that it took several horizontal scroll to see the right end. There must be a way like, where go a user's unsaved records in Scribus. I even did an uninstall followed by a new install but even then the problem reappeared!...
ah, the UI is huge...
funny...
you can try to delete the
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Scribus
directory... if it exists and then start scribus...
i cannot test since... well, i don't have windows... that kind of windows... you know what i mean...
That did ! Relief... What years of experience can do to a helpful man. Thank you!!
nice to hear that it worked!
