![]() ![]() I know this isn't directly connected with Scribus but if you use OpenOffice - for instance, to edit your text before inserting into Scribus - you'll probably need to re-install Java as the upgrade removes it (or makes it unavailable in some way). It could be something I did wrong but it's worth checking your most important ones before you need them. I've noticed that a few of mine have gone missing and I can't figure out why. Note: Both GIMP and Inkscape need to do this too, so you might want to start them when you're not in a hurry.Īlso, check your fonts are all still in your Font Book. When you first start Scribus it'll need to rebuild your font list so if you've got a lot of fonts prepare to be patient. What you do with your disabled fonts is up to you. Resolved fonts aren't deleted, they're just disabled (unless you've set the Preferences to move them to the Trash). Select both versions in turn to find the newest one and - while selecting the newest one - press the "Resolve This Duplicate" button. To disable a font variant click on the little arrow head next to the font name to "open" it, then click on one of the variants with an alert symbol and press the "Manually Resolve." button on the bottom right. I'd recommend disabling the older versions - the new ones are dated 1st Dec 2013. If you open FontBook you'll probably see many little yellow alert symbols. Mavericks installs new versions of many font variants (Arial, Georgia, Palatino, Times New Roman, etc.). Note: When you first run Inkscape it might ask you where X11 is XQuartz will be installed by default in the Utilities folder in Applications. ![]() So if you're using GhostScript - and you probably are even if you don't know it - you'll have to (re)install XQuartz from here: Īpple no longer provide X11, that's why you need XQuartz (which was usually more up-to-date than the Apple version anyway).ĭon't worry if you don't know what X11/XQuartz is, the installation is painless and you'll need it for things like Inkscape too. Mavericks wipes any X11 installation you may have and GhostScript uses X11. This isn't Scribus-specific but it's worth knowing about. So just leave it a while so you don't get frustrated with applications working slower than normal. (It's not unusual for mdworker to take 60-75% of a CPU.) that churn through all the files on your connected drives and take up a load of CPU. This is because Spotlight needs to update its database, so it creates loads of little tasks - mds, mdworker, mds_stores, etc. Straight after you upgrade I'd recommend not running any applications for the first hour or two or so after logging on. MAKE A BACKUP - I can't emphasise this enough. As I've just recently upgraded to Mavericks I thought I'd share some tips for Scribus users thinking about doing the same.
