Summary | 0014475: Dejavu font not found | ||||
Description | On Ubuntu 16.10 the Dejavu fonts are no longer accessable by Scribus. I used those fonts in my documents and i really need that to be working. The fonts are installed in the default location /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu. Only one font from this location is recognized by Scribus: DejaVu Math TeX Gyre Regular, all other variants from the same location not. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Use Scribus on Ubuntu 16.10 with installed dejavu-packages, open Scribus, open general settings > fonts. There will be no DejaVu, except the one mentioned. | ||||

We already had this. It's a bug in the font, should be fixed. (But I never tried as I don't like the font) Try to get the latest dejavu-packages (from another source) and inform the ubuntu maintainers. |

No, that's not the font the problem. The problem is the FreeType version Ubuntu 16.10 ships (2.6.3). Freetype versions from 2.6.0 to 2.6.3 at least have an issue which prevent some glyphs to be loaded, making the font appear as broken. I've not tested 2.6.4, but Freetype 2.6.5 works for me. We cannot do much here, the only solution is to use either a distro not effected by the issue or to use a newer FreeType version. In any case, this is not a scribus issue. You should inform Ubuntu maintainers. |
