I am a linguist. At one time or another I have needed just about every character in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), including all the diacriticals: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/ipa.htm Unless TeX can enter all the combining diacriticals on the above link it will not do for me. In Scribus or LO Writer on Linux I can enter any of them easily just by using the Unicode value for the combining diacritical. Of course, I use the Junicode font for everything, since it was created by Prof. Peter Baker for use in classics and linguistics and has just about every character I might need, including ordinary typesetting niceties like true small caps, old style numerals, swashes, and lots more. But even if I convince TeX to use Junicode it still has no way to enter all the diacriticals that I need. ___ Scribus Mailing List: scribus-rGrgPyRx504ZpDxWM7x1sV6hYfS7NtT</pre> John Jason Jordan 2013-05-23T19:54:24 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scribus/43509 <pre>On Thu, 23 May 2013 08:25:10 -0400 William Adams &lt;will.adams-thWPzwbLMbhBDgjK7y7TUQ&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; wrote: Convention has it that left hand pages are given even numbers and right hand pages are given odd numbers.

I do follow your steps, and the result is in the snapshot at the end. I have no intention of generating a discussion here of what is or what is not graphic design about. But i'm very sure it's not like working with squares, and if the squares doesn't work maybe i change it for circles, or triangles maybe, because it implicates a new level of significance. A typographic choice isn't arbitrary (i suppose that you can tell the difference between Comic Sans or Helvetica or whatever font you like) and it's followed by what you want to communicate in that certaint way to a predetermined public or receptor. I repeat, i do need to work with a determined font to communicate a specific message.

Here's what you need to have and to do: 1) Download libmspub v. 0.0.6 here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libmspub/ or check out the libmspub git repository. 2) Compile and install libmuspub via the old-fashioned ./configure, make, make install. 3) After installing via "make install" run "ldconfig" (as root). 4) In the plugins/import directory in the Scribus source tree edit the file CMakeLists.txt and remove "# " from the line "# ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(pub)". 5) If you have built Scribus 1.5.0svn before, remove the file CMakeCache.txt from the ~/Scribus directory. 6) Run cmake as usual and install. There are hundreds of PUB files available on the web. Happy Testing!

I tested version 1.4 Scribus and still can not come up with a way to put these stylistic alternates, which I think is very useful when designing. The lower case numbers, also called old-style figures, are practical when applying a particular style to any graphic design work, but more importantly, when to apply numbering in a non intrusive in a text where are purely letters. A few years ago i was using proprietary software-InDesign-for my editorial work, but since then, I focus on free software as the main tools for production. I remember in InDesign-without any intention of making stupid comparisons- placing such lower case numbers and stylistic alternatives (for example, some fonts bring the number zero with a slash across it from side to side, and some other variants) were as simple as selecting it in the paragraph style editor. I read the mails without finding any solution and I wonder why this feat</pre> Gabriel Grosso 2013-05-22T16:46:15 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scribus/43496 <pre> JJJ&gt; Having done that, repeat the exercise with an m. Now you will see JJJ&gt; that the syllabic diacritic is not centered under the m as it was JJJ&gt; with the n. For a further exercise, repeat with an l, which will JJJ&gt; further demonstrate the problem of centering the diacritic. For OpenType, fonts are supposed to have attachment points for each glyph which allow the combining glyphs properly to arrange. When I tried you example, « n̩ m̩ l̩ » in my terminal emulator (using DejaVu Sans Mono), all of the combined glyphs looked perfect. They also look right with Dejavu Serif. But fonts which lack attachment points (notably including all of the non-Free fonts I could test) the results are very poor. -JimC </pre> James Cloos 2013-05-22T15:44:37 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scribus/43495 <pre>Okay, I had to split the cover off from the instructions steps in the Shapeoko assembly files.
