<div dir="ltr">OK, I resorted to directly editing the XML save file to start fixing problems and rip out the fonts it added and changed throughout the document in places that hadn't even been touched by when it started doing that. I also discovered while doing this that it's _far_ easier to directly edit the XML to add colors to the palette than it is to actually use the software for it. So, proofing draft 4 is underway. <div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 3:42 PM, Ruth Frasur <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:director@hagerstownlibrary.org" target="_blank">director@hagerstownlibrary.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Yeah, I wondered if it wasn't a Scribus "speciality (purposeful misspelling)."</div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 3:39 PM, Rogan Hamby <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rogan.hamby@gmail.com" target="_blank">rogan.hamby@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I shall have to look at this later / tomorrow more to break down the fonts but regarding number of fonts there should only be two.

There seem to be a lot of fonts. I wouldn't say it's weirdness, but a lot. Most notably, to my mind, are the two text areas on the last page. My eye expected them to be what seems to be the standard san serif font throughout, but it's not. </div><div>2. The logo on the back page seems like it's a little close on the left hand side.</div><div>3. On page 9, there are essentially 6 colors ranging from green-blue to fluorescent green. That's a lot of green. Grant, we're Evergreen. </div><div>4. The headers on pages 7 & 8 are off. The text seems too close to the horizontal edge. On pg. 8, too close to the vertical edge.</div><div>5. The Kentucky collage on pg. 6 is awesome.</div><div>6. On the acknowledgements page, everyone else is a proofreader but I'm proofreading. </div><div>7. On the center teal bar on the acknowledgements page, the white text is off vertical center.</div><div><br></div><div>Enough nit picking for me. I didn't notice any glaring grammatical or spelling errors. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="m_97334185656634343m_5908057469527832073h5">On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 2:54 PM, Rogan Hamby <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rogan.hamby@gmail.com" target="_blank">rogan.hamby@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="m_97334185656634343m_5908057469527832073h5"><div dir="ltr">OK, clearly I missed my self imposed deadline of 2 pm.

But thanks to the wonders of modern technology and mobile hotspots on phones I've continued to plug away at it. <div><br></div><div>All of this is relevant because with my laptop screen but without additional monitors so it's hard to jump between all the additional windows to track font changes and such but I _think_ I've gotten the fonts standardized. Another pass will be needed. If you still see font weirdness please don't hesitate to say something. How Scribus handles fonts .... well, let's just say it's not intuitive. I have unkind adjectives in mind but it is at least consistent so I can work around it even if it makes absolutely no sense why it's doing it in the first place. And I'm thinking the manual editing of the XML I did at the beginning may be needed again. Anyway....<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm still finding some small layout tweaks. You may notice them. I haven't logged them as everyone else has been so kind to do. </div><div><br></div><div>Uh..... I have a lot of thoughts but time is short and I don't remember most of them. But I think all the changes are in. I do however want to highlight something that has been driving me nuts and that Andrea mentioned: kerning. </div><div><br></div><div>I think some of the text flows look ... not good. Scribus does not have smart kerning like InDesign or Quark or ... other modern commercial software layout tools. For the most part Scribus has been decent but when it fails it really fails. We could just justify everything to both sides like a newspaper but that would look just as bad just different. The thing about kerning is that it's time consuming to do manually and small text changes can make it all mute so I'm not going to tackle it until I feel sure text changes aren't incoming and even then I'm not sure I'll have time to really go through it all. </div><div><br></div><div>That will be tomorrow.</div><div><br></div><div> Proofing copy 3 is attached.</div></div>
