![]() When opening a Quark layout that has certain open type face fonts Quark will crash. Then came QuarkXpress (and its suicide) and InDesign which, to be honest, is a great program, but too expensive.Ever since we have upgraded our 15 computers at work to Mac OS X 10.4.7 we have been having more problems with open type face fonts and QuarkXPress 6.5. I found Pagestream in a bundle, in one of these Amigas (maybe the second 500 or the 1200), I didn't even know what DTP was, but I understood that it was what I had always done with the ciclostyle at school and what I did by hand with the markers on the labels of the floppies, audio cassettes of the demos or gigs or posters of my old Metal group and so on. I used it until September 2017, then I hosted my old mother at home and the space is considerably reduced and I put it in the attic. Quote from: RodneyLeeI had the A4000 Tower with the '060 in it, started with the A500 used pagestream up until early last year, Scribus all the way nowI had an Amiga 1000 (1985), an A500 (1987), a second A500 (1989) with an extra memory of half mega (to play "Dungeon Master") and an A1200 (1993) to which I mounted on it almost anything from Blizzard, to the PowerUp 603 + / 1260 / SCSI, up to the BVision 24bit. I use linux Mint, biggest problem is so many distro's to tryVery true, it reminds me of the phpBB forum distros (I don't know if you've ever had to do it) there were so many. The beauty of Mac OS X is unbeatable, unfortunately they are closing year by year in a glass bubble and I can no longer work on it.Īnyway, there will be three programs that I will miss: Photoshop, Apple Logic and Apple Final Cut, the rest - in my opinion - is all replaceable. ![]() Linux is simple as any computer these day, point and click,It's true and I wrote it in my previous post. and has a few rough edges) you will have a much better experience : - ) on the other side, 1.5 is much better (imo) than 1.4 and if you're just a bit careful (it's a development version. it might work or not.I come from the Amiga world, there was the terminal, but wasn't so much used! :-D :-D :-D What you can do is: start 1.5 from the terminal and use the "-fi" parameter to see which fonts are not loaded and remove that font before starting again 1.4. I know that there are snapshots for windows and linux with it, but i fear that none is currently available for mac.It's written in my destiny: "You will come out of a niche (Amiga) and enter another niche (Mac)." Some time ago i've a patch that will show in the preferences > fonts which fonts have not been loaded. Just be careful: document saved with 1.5.4 cannot be opened with 1.4!In fact, I decided to upgrade also to the Windows version. I created a new user and again the same problem.ĭoes anyone know how I can solve it please? I uninstalled it, deleted any Scribus referent file in the system, reinstalled, but the problem arises every time during that loading phase. Start, the splash screen appears, but stops during "Reading color profiles" (I hope the translation is correct) as you can see from the attached image, and it stays that way until I have to force the exit. ![]() ![]() On Friday I created a brochure in the office and since we had to deliver it this morning, I thought of completing the work at home, but since Saturday Scribus freezes. ![]() I thought I could find applications hard to use and obtuse and instead I discovered professional and intuitive applications. Unfortunately, since the end of March I have changed offices and I no longer have the Adobe package available and to have greater compatibility between systems I installed Gimp, Inkscape and Scribus both on Windows7 in the office and on the Mac at home. I've been in the DTP world since the Amiga days (Pagestream), then QuarkXpress and finally InDesign. Hi, welcome to everyone and excuse my bad English right now. ![]()
