| Summary | 0002471: Default font/Difficult to find embedded fonts | ||||
| Description | This is perhaps a meta-bug but it is difficult for me to divide it in further sub-bugs. After installing Scribus, the default font has been set to "Albany Bold". This is, I suppose, because it is the first font in the alphabet. Not an optimal solution IMHO. If "Helvetica" is installed on the system (or some other "common" font) this should be the default font. Admittedly without futher looking around the properties I started creating my document. Now the text-boxes have the font "Albany Bold" selected in the text properties drop-down-list. Nevertheless the font is not "Albany Bold" because I selected different fonts for various selections inside the text box. If this happens the font drop-down should be disabled or rather show "various fonts" instead of some font that in fact never appears anywhere. Even worse, this font is asked for when reopening the file on a different computer and it's embedded in PDF output. It's now quite difficult to find where the font is used. A good solution IMO: Ability to double-click on a font in "Extras->Fonts-Preview" would jump to (i.e. select) the first text-box that uses this font. | ||||

A) You can select the default font for textframes in Preferences -> Tools ->Text tool B) I'm with you that a font should not be embedded into PS/PDF if it's only used for whitespace. |
