![]() ![]() I know there are some free open source fonts designed for Tamil that you should be able to find on the internet. I suggest you search for other fonts and try them out. Download the development version to test and help improve Scribus. Download the stable version if you want to work with tested software and avoid surprises. Scribus offers its software in two versions: stable and development. Unfortunately, I do not have a way to test this for you. Here are tutorials and Scribus documentation that will get you up and running quickly. I am guessing that if you use different fonts that have a complete set of glyphs for Tamil the problem will resolve itself. Therefore, the experience you are describing tells me that the font you are using does not have all the glyphs and Scribus is substituting the glyphs from a different font for the Story Editor, but is refusing to do so in canvas view or in printing or export to PDF. However, Scribus does substitute in the Story Editor. It would be a disaster if the print company does not have the same fonts installed because the final print job would have missing glyphs. The reason Scribus does not do this is because it is designed for printing on a printing press by a print company. An expert explains the working of a software, by demonstrating it on the screen, along with a running commentary. Scribus, on the other hand, will not do this in canvas view or in printing or export to PDF. A spoken tutorial is a an audio-video tutorial that explains an activity performed on the computer. Scribus is a Desktop Publishing application similar to Microsoft Publisher. ![]() They also do not tell you which font they substituted the glyphs from. Unfortunately, they do not tell you that they are doing this. Microsoft Word and Writer have a "helpful" feature: If the font you are using does not have a glyph they will substitute a glyph from another font that you have installed on your computer. In Scribus when copied the text from notepad, It shows the text correctly in Story Editor, but in the pages it is not display the text as per in the Story Editor.
