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
Created attachment 179874 [details] screenshot illustrating the red squares problem (red lines = webdings, date=different font)
same problem here with scribus-1.3.3.12-r1
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.
