So the result of applying either the PARENT style or the CHILD style are exactly the same. If you make no changes at all to the CHILD style, then every change you make to the PARENT style is inherited (and therefore implemented) by the CHILD style. PARENT: The style that is the base for other styles.ĬHILD: The style that uses the PARENT style as its base. This supposed problem of inheritance prefaced by "theoretical" is no problem at all it is exactly how inheritance should work.įirst, at least in version 1.4.6, when you define a new style (the CHILD) and base it on another style (the PARENT), the CHILD is displayed indented under the PARENT in the Style Manager Quote from: GarryP on June 07, 2015, 04:42:19 PMĪlthough this is an old message, it deserves clarification. You can't know so it's best to be specific from the start and Scribus will tell you when you load the document whether you can use the font. It might be Arial on one machine and Open Sans on another. This usually isn't a huge problem and making the change is way quicker than manually formatting stuff but it needs to be taken into account.Įven though it isn't perfect it's better to create character styles and base paragraph styles on them than to format things directly.Īlso, if you don't use the default formatting styles you don't have the problem where if you move your document between different systems you could have different default fonts if the systems don't share fonts. Scribus isn't clever enough to check the new font to see if it has a bold variant and automatically make the switch. However, and here's why I said "theoretically" near the start, some changes aren't carried through automatically.įor example, if you start with "Arial Regular" in the base style and "Arial Bold" in the derived style and then change the font in the base style to "Minion", Scribus won't automatically change the font in the derived style. * Edit the "Article" character style and set the font to "Minion" and the "Person's Name" style should automatically be set to "Minion" and "Blue". * Highlight peoples' names and format them with the "Person's Name" character style. * Format the paragraph with the "Article" paragraph style. * Create a paragraph style "Article" based on the character style of "Article'. * Create another character style based on "Article" calling it "Person's Name" and change the colour to "Blue". * Create a character style "Article" as Arial Regular 10pt Black. If you create a character style to base another character style on then - theoretically - when you change the base character style the styles based on that base style should change automatically.
