[scribus] scribus Digest, Vol 133, Issue 9

[Thorsten Marquardt]

Hi,

I tried to use the maestro percussion font and it works the way it
should. At least with scribus 1.5.4 on my linux box. I think the trouble
is not the font itself but the way Kevin tries to enter the glyphs.
The way I did:

- Create a new textframe
- Select Maestro Percussion from the text properties window
- Choose menu Insert -> Symbol...
- Klick the left most icon and choose the glyphs you like to insert by
double klick

The Maestro Percussion font has a very limited set of glyphs and none of
them is associated to any key on the keyboard.

Btw.: I use a scribus version localized to german. Therefore, the
correct menu items may be named differently.


So long

Thom
