[Scribus] fonts

[Bart Alberti]

I notice tha my *.pfb fonts (from Corel Draw) all of which are in one folder
/home/bart/adobepfb
read ok except Shelley (Allegro, Andante, Volante) and American uncial.
These print but do not show in the font chooser as  themselves but only as
mono spaced lettering; and they do not show in the text box but as
placeholders.
Funny but I could swear that I did have that going in prior versions.

Odder, I tried to copy ALL the Corel Draw *.PFB from the CD. These come out
as ../Fonts/TYPE1/A, ../../../B,  ../../../C etc etc.And I cannot get these
to read at all (they are upper case file names). The folder
./home/bart/adobeepfb is working and I can switch it on and off by using the
"add Font Paths" tab. So I am correct there. But nothing takes hold from
/home/bart/fonts_corel_draw. Ok if I have to change 2880 names easily is
there a trick? sed? awk? a shell script?

Even more interesting the true type fonts I so proudly installed in
/home/bart/truetype do not show at all and they are masked by the equivalent
post script (from Corel Draw, too). I had the nerve to give out advice on
this topic.
I do NOT want to use the kfontistaller mechanism > want to keep these fonts
for Scribus alone which is why I use the tab.
