[scribus] An idea about fonts

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi Staffan,

that's clearly another thing to do, and it doesn't affect my issue 
directly, it would rather complement it:

Once you had defined the different standard shapes for a given font (my 
idea), you could define the paragraph formats for the import (your idea).

Yes, that would be cool :-)
