Description Guschtel 2009-01-27 12:24:32 UTC
When using "webdings" or "Ann" as a font scribus displays red squares instead of the font.
Webdings belongs to corefonts and according to
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Right_font_4_right_purpose
the font problems that might arise with it should be handled by scribus.
Apparently they are not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a text field
2. Enter abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
3. set Webdings regular or Ann as font

Actual Results:  
red squares appear

Expected Results:  
(Webdings) symbols should appear

upgrading scribus to 1.3.3.12-r1 didn't help

same problem here with scribus-1.3.3.12-r1
Comment 3 Guschtel 2009-01-27 14:08:38 UTC
This affects also a lot of other fonts like Mathematica, ZaleskiCaps, UpperWestSide, symbol, ... not always for all chars (i.e. symbol font i only found 1 char which is not displayed correctly: "*")

Please post your `emerge --info' too. Also, compare with bug #255082.
