| Summary | 0011209: Scribus doesn't find any fonts by font rental Skyfonts | ||||
| Description | I gave the font-rental-system http://skyfonts.com (by Monotype) a try on Windows XP. Other applications (even older CorelDraw et.al) find the new fonts installed by Skyfonts. But Scribus does not, even when restarting it. It seem that as special background app is syncing with the Skyfont-Server, and when a new font is added, it is directly injected into the Windows Font system, you could not find the font on the disk. I'm opening this bug to gather all information around this issue, because I personally find it very appealing to have the possibility to just try a font having to spend this much money. I would like to get it to work even in Scribus. | ||||
| Additional Information | I have opened a "bug" in the feedback-area of Skyfont. You can vote for it. | ||||

Just checked with the new skyfonts version 2.0.15 on Win XP. Still doesn't work. |
|
|
Depends where this program stores the fonts. If you can find that, then you can point Scribus at it. |

resolving since OP has not responded to Craig's reply. |

Sory missed this question. After searchin for the font i finally found how its works: Skyfonts puts the fonts into a folder below C:\Users\rde\AppData\Local\Temp (WIN7) named t.ex. 81455DFE-0F38-4594-BDE0-7C26519ZED47 Do a simple search for *ttf in the temp dir and then add the folder to your Scribus font path. This seams to work. Edit: typos (Kunda) |
