| Summary | 0008148: Glyphs not appearing in text frame | ||||
| Description | Glyphs that are definitely in the font are not appearing in the text frame and also not appearing in the Character Palette. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Install the Junicode font in order to have a font with a good character set. You can get it here, or your distro might already have a package: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158636 2. Open a new document (one page is fine) and create a text frame. 3. Open the Story Editor and in Settings change the Story Editor display font to Junicode. 4. Type a null (U-2205) and a right arrow (U-2192) using Ctrl-Shift-u + the Unicode numbers. The characters will appear in Story Editor. 5. Close Story Editor and update the text frame. The characters will be empty boxes. 6. Open Insert Glyph and the character palette. Scroll through the glyphs looking for 2205 and 2192. They will not appear. | ||||
| Additional Information | These characters appear fine using the Junicode font in OOo and any other application on my computer. They also appear fine in Gnome Character Map. Apparently Scribus is not seeing all the glyphs in the font, although it does so for the Story Editor. I have been using this font for years for my work in linguistics and have never had a problem with it. There are probably other glyphs that are not working properly in text frames, but so far the above two are all that I have found. I say that because Insert > Glyph Character Palette does not display nearly as many glyphs as Gnome Character Map. | ||||

The display font setting in story editor has nothing to do with the font selected to typeset the text in the text frame. And since you ~confirm (by the fact that they are not available in characters palette) that the characters are not present in the current font of the text frame, I think there’s no problem at all here. Note: Junicode does not contain the characters you were looking for. They are displayed in story editor well because Qt works to find a font containing those characters without consideration for the style - what we can’t afford in Scribus itself. |

Confirming that those glyphs are not part of JUnicode, Indesign character map and QuarkXPress character map do not show those glyphs as being part of JUnicode. |
