I figured out what was going on. For some reason, many empty text boxes and at least one text box with my desired text had been superimposed on top of the original box. This was different than I had experienced in the past because I had always pasted onto a new page, not the same page. Problem solved.

You are right, I didn't use styles, it's my first project with Scribus,4 weeks ago I knew nothing about it.
But I am almost finished, and the printer agreed to a few pages sample !
I tried with another font on one page, and it's ok, no bold letters.
sla files are plain text, I could try a replace all with a text editor ?

Latest news :
I tried with yet another font (Verdana 10pt) , and the same letters as with 'Open sans'  are bold in the pdf

Hi everyone,

I am designing a document to print and need it to have the same text box on the top half as the bottom. However, despite that I have done this dozens of times before in other documents, it is not working. I have tried control-c/control-v, and going through the menu to select Copy and Paste manually. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any support. :'(

hi juanmallo

you're right. unfortunately this is really a limitation of linked text boxes. for this you have to go to the story editor.

I take it you didnt use styles?..
well at least select a section text that will cause that issue and change to a different font, and see if it shows up for that section of text

ok, I would like to, but the document has 140 pages with 4 or 5 text block per page.
Is there a way to change the font for all text blocks ?

I am using the 'Open sans' font , and all fonts are vectorized for pdf creation.(Scribus 1.6.5 , Windows 11)
In the pdf, the letter 'l' is (most of the time, but not always) printed bold in normally printed words.
Sometimes, the letter 'i' as well.
I have tried several quality and compression , but no change.
Any suggestion please ?

Quote from: IanicM on April 03, 2026, 02:14:24 PMIt's not completely reliable because it can sometimes trim off the last line, 
what happens if you have an extra return as the last line?
