Cardo is nice, but it lacks bold and italic versions, doesn't it?
Anyway, as a workaround inserting the greek chars is acceptable for me 
for the text I am currently working on. As a beginner for Scribus, what 
I would like to know: is the above behavior a bug in Scribus, or it is 
expected, and I simply must not use two different font types in a single 
Oo doc to be imported into Scribus?

I know how to add a font path. It is ridiculous, but I couldn't find 
where Openoffice puts its own additional fonts. Does anyone know the 
path (I am using FC4) ?
