Hi!

I have created some image to better showing. (I have switched to the
newest version of inkscape(0.37)
I have created a polyline(triangle, but not closed), and I have filled
it:
http://www.pvvbitech.hu/dtp/closepath.svg
http://www.pvvbitech.hu/dtp/closepath.png

In scribus it does not appear the filled area just outline(if we dont
have outline, so it appears nothing in scribus)

When we look at the source of SVG:
<path
style="fill:#000071;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-opacity:1;stroke-width:3.75;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-linecap:butt;fill-opacity:0.617188;stroke-dasharray:none;"
d="M 129.56102 286.5126 L 264.88031 122.40197 L 348.37519 303.7874 "
id="path574" />

Here is the approprieta line:
d="M 129.56102 286.5126 L 264.88031 122.40197 L 348.37519 303.7874 "

If we putting the letter 'z' at the and of line(in XML-editor inside
inkscape, or vim). It close:

I have egally referred some SVG docs, for this issue:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathDataGeneralInformation

''A path is defined by including a 'path' element which contains a
d="(path data)" attribute, where the d attribute contains the moveto,
line, curve (both cubic and quadratic B?ziers), arc and closepath
instructions.
The M indicates a moveto, 
the L's indicate lineto's, 
and the z indicates a closepath
''

More detailed is it at the 8.3.3:
8.3.3 The "closepath" command

I know the difference of scribus and latex.;) I use all the two apps.
At present the better way to include some text in scribus, is it load
some simple txt files. So its evident to improve ...
As I use both two apps for presentation technical text at
conference(scribus), and for reports(latex).

I have egally readed in the archive that someone have an idea to
implement a mathematical editor from OO.org. 
Just my two cents: I write many mathematical/engeneering docs, and I
have never familiarised the way of OO.org, and MS-Office. The latex way
is the best at presence. And would be more simply implement, not need
GUI, just an interpreter for it.
(ex:
\mathcal{F}^{-1}\{f(\omega)\}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int\limits_{0}^a e^{j\omega
t}\,d\omega
In M$-Office it cant be exactly typesetting, and it takes 5* much more
time.
Here is the output of this thing:
