hi admfubar

scribus has a font substitution table since many years. ('preferences' → 'fonts' → 'font substitutions' as a general setting or 'document setup' → 'fonts' → 'font substitutions' for an individual file...)
what are you missing there?

It seems that a few months ago I've tried on my L I N U X machine the script hih created and it worked well.

The screenshot is the result on my L I N U X machine.

If you're referring to the CalendarWizard script that is shipped with Scribus I can also confirm that it works correctly on my L I N U X machine.
It has a rather strange UI, but it works.

I think the script mentioned is the one linked at the bottom of post #3 in this thread?

ok. – for those lines you need to activate 'page' → 'snap to items'.

Quote from: forest_bear59 on December 18, 2022, 08:01:13 PMI have evaluated the MonthlyCalendar script and find it extremely useful.

Where can I get this MonthlyCalendar script?  I have just installed Scribus 1.6.1 on Linux Mint and tried the CalendarWizard that is packaged with it.  It doesn't work for me at all - it doesn't seem to see the options I have selected.  Either that, or something it needs is not on my system.  I'd hope that everything needed should be installed when Scribus is installed.  Anyway, whatever the problem is, it would be good to try some other alternatives.

EDIT: Cancel question - just found it here on the forums and it says it does not run on Linux. Disappointing.

The proposed solutions display the grid across the entire document, whereas I only want to display the horizontal and vertical guides for the selected image (the guides appear when the image is aligned horizontally or vertically on the page, or aligned with another element on the page).

Speaking of alignment guides.. Is there an option for extending the positioning marks to pass through the pointer? I though scribus did this at one time.

hi pn

either 'view' → 'grids and guides' → 'show grid' or 'file' → 'document setup' → 'guides' → 'visibility' → 'page grid' for the current document and 'preferences' → 'guides' → 'visibility' → 'page grid' as a standard for future documents.

...but if this grid is better than guides (free or in columns and rows), it's probably better to deal with a vector graphic program (like inkscape) than with a layout program like scribus...

What settings do I need to enable to display these green alignment lines?
Thank you.
