Subject: [scribus-dev] Select and Edit tools show a hand
Message-ID: <2d2f36361002110611j642235k3f76a8bfd000e7df@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I am using the latest .dmg available on Sourceforge:
Version de Scribus 1.3.5.1
11 Ao?t 2009
Identifiant de compilation : C-C-T-F-Q-Mac/Aqua
Utilisation de GhostScript version 8.57

Both the Select and Edit tools icons are a hand. It?s been a long time since
I?ve played with Scribus but I was under the impression that the Select Tool
would show an arrow while the Edit tool would show a hand (when we put the
mouse over an object). I think it?s confusing to have both tools with the
same icon (while we work, not in the tool palette). I didn?t file a bug
report for this yet. Need your input.

Thanks !

Louis

Message-ID: <201002112336.04182.mrdocs@scribus.info>

SCRIBUS 1.3.3.14 RELEASE

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus  
1.3.3.14 stable. This will be the last release of the Qt3 based 1.3.3.x 
series. 

1.3.3.x has served us well over 15 releases and downloads in the 
hundreds of thousands. However, Qt3, on which it is based, is no longer 
maintained.  We, the Scribus developers wish to concentrate our efforts fully 
towards the next stable 1.4 release. 

-- 1.3.3.14 / stable release --

This release add the following:
* Several fixes and improvements to PDF export.
* More translation and documentation updates.
* A few rarely triggered crash bugs were fixed.
* Some fixes for non-latin glyph usage in files.

  -- The next 1.3.6 development release --

Concurrently, the team is pleased to announce a string freeze for 1.3.6.svn 
which will eventually lead towards the next stable 1.4.x release.

We now recommend all distributions package only Scribus 1.3.3.14, and we don't
recommend packaging 1.3.6.svn snapshot releases unless they are marked as 
experimental or development only.

For Mac OS X users, we recommend the use of MacPorts or fink, or the use of a 
testing version of Scribus 1.3.5.1 dmg available on SourceForge, due to Qt4 
compatibility.

Hi guys,

Just so you may want to know ? and I understand you may well know already !
? we are available on Version Tracker. However the program is said to be a
"freeware" as you can see here:

Do you think this could be interesting for us, e.g. in the font preview?

Betreff: [OpenFontLibrary] An index for OFL fonts
Datum: Montag, 15. Februar 2010
Von: Peter Baker <b.tarde at gmail.com>
An: openfontlibrary at lists.freedesktop.org

I've been lurking on this list for a while, never posted here before.
Hi everyone!

A couple of weeks ago, in response to a query on the XeTeX list, I
wrote a little Python/FontForge script (called "fontswith") that
searches through a directory (with all its subdirectories) looking for
fonts with a specific set of glyphs. Turns out that this is a common
sort of need, and various people have produced home-rolled solutions
(Perl scripts, PHP scripts ...). Mine has a number of friendly
command-line switches, can search ttf, otf, ttc, pfb and pfa fonts,
and can speed searches by building an index for future use.

A little while after Iwan Gabovitch posted the link to an archive of
OFL fonts it suddenly occurred to me that one didn't actually have to
have fonts installed or even present on the system in order to search;
one just had to have the index. So I've made an index for the OFL and
posted it along with my script, here:

http://faculty.virginia.edu/OldEnglish/fontswith/

There's only one hitch, namely that several of the fonts in the
archive are inaccessible for some reason: instead of the font, I have
a 14-byte text file containing just the phrase "file not found." These
are the fonts in question:

OFL-OSP_-_NotCourier-sans.ttf
OFL-OSP_-_NotCourier-sans_1.ttf
OFL-PhaistosDisk_-_Layne_Rook.ttf
PD-chemoelectric_-_Goudy_Bookletter_1.otf
PD-Daniel_J_-_Rahel.otf

I suppose there's some easy fix for this; but in the meantime I hope
folks will enjoy having a simple way to discover which OFL fonts have
glyphs that answer some particular need.

Best wishes,
Peter Baker

Subject: [scribus-dev] UI Concerns!
Message-ID: <779f754c1002161114k76617456i86b6c86d6e131b94@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

As the subject says, almost all the UI Dialogs accessible from the Window
menu is too tiny for me. For eg, I've a screenshot of *Choose Scrapbook
Directory  *Dialog here http://imagebin.ca/view/BkLR6fF0.html
I tried this in Ubuntu 9.10, with KDE 4.4 SC Desktop Environment. This uses
Qt 4.6 as default!

To confirm this, I booted into Mac and tried to take the same dialog, and
surprisingly, it works fine, see the screenshot here :
http://imagebin.ca/view/4fr2pOYa.html
My Mac 10.6 has Qt 4.5 installed in it.

I am using Scribus 1.5.0 built from latest svn.

So, my question is whether this is an error due to Qt 4.6 in my Gnu/Linux ?
I find it very difficult to read and understand the  text in dialog windows.
The Ok or Cancel Buttons in the first screenshot is a best example!

Any other users facing this problem?

Greetings!
Jain Basil Aliyas

Message-ID: <902eb6981002171312x30e67372v65c529bdaa5f6978@mail.gmail.com>

As requested yesterday in IRC, here's information on how to get a
distribution together in PortableApps.com format:

   - Take a regshot of the development system.
   - Install Ghostscript & current distribution of Scribus
   - Run Scribus & Close
   - Take a second regshot
   - Based on the information provided in the regshot, prepare the files
   following the PortableApps.com format found here:
   http://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format
   - Once setup in the correct format, use the PortableApps.com Universal
   Launcher to prepare a launcher for Scribus:
   http://portableapps.com/node/22364
   - Compact the files in the "App" directory using the PortableApps.com App
   compactor: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/appcompactor
   - Run the installer on the ScribusPortable directory:
   http://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer
   - Upload to Sourceforge, and make the distribution available.

Please note that I am willing to maintain this distribution, although if the
Scribus team wishes to release it themselves, that's perfectly ok with me.

Message-ID: <733f2c731002240241k2de97471y3ed505301a7f514f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I got bored reverse engineering paint dynamics in photoshop brushes
and temporarily switched to gradient files (.grd). Most of the stuff
is done, but there are some blank spaces, plus Valek's excellent
script that dumps contents breaks at color stops created from swatch
books like Pantone's and Toyo's. Anyway, a brave soul can already
start implementing things. The specification is badly structured
mostly because I never dealt with documentation on file formats. Any
kind of hints to best practices will be much appreciated.

The Git repo is here:

CCing Lukas Tvrdy from Krita, Olivier Berten of SwatchBooker and
Val--- Artur Dent :)
