![]() This can seem a bit restrictive but it is saving you from having all kinds of weird problems down the line. If Scribus doesn't think it can use them fully then it will not allow you to use them at all. A lot of fancy fonts are created just to be used in simple ways for posters and the like and they don't contain all of the features that Scribus needs to properly use them. It can use OTF and TTF (and PS, I think) but they have to be created "properly". Scribus only allows you to use fonts that behave in certain ways. See here (the "Installing Ghostscript" section) for a quick overview. Scribus only uses it for certain functions. ![]() Ghostscript has nothing to do with fonts. For clarification, I've never intentionally installed a font on this Mac, anything currently on it either came with the OS or one of few Apps I've installed. Not sure if I have to find/downlaod/install something, or if Scribus can use other fonts that are already residing "somewhere" on my Mac. Maybe I missed something (ghostscript?) that would remedy that. I guess that's OK if I know ahead of time what font I'm looking for, but it seems rather odd. ![]() Does Scribus only recognize existing TT fonts? Does it only include those that came in the install package? Most of what's available out of the box looks to be fairly "plain," and I'm looking for a fairly "clean" (not overly fancy) calligraphic font.Īlso, I don't see any sort of font "preview" until I've already used it in the text box. I know that there are a lot more fonts available on other programs I run on my Mac than what I see in Scribus. ![]() I then generated a quick test page, shared it with my printer, he's good with the bleeds, resolution, etc. I installed the stable 1.4.6 version last night on a mac (10.12).
