[Scribus] george hail fonts

[Bart Alberti]

I too did that. One must do
mkfontsdir
mkfontscale
then the abiword documentation suggests using their
ttmadmin.sh script and this will give the u2g afm and so forth using the
ISO-8859-1 If you do NOT do this the fonts will print but will NOT show in
Scribus itself
The order given above may not be correct. If so one of these commands will
truncate the fonts.dir to ZERO!
This is all explained in Scribus documentation (under fonts) also get hold
of Abi Word which has good information on all of this mess.
There must be a better way.
By the way, if you use ALL your Windows ttf fonts your display may take over
the WHOLE space!!

Any other suggestion form any one else would be welcome. I prefer the scroll
mechanism in Abi  and Word Perfect.
Indeed I just posted a note about this last week!
Cheers,
