How do you place a graphic in a scribus document and make sure that it is
embedded into the document regardless of where the source file is moved?
We are trying to launch our first paper utilizing scribus.
Thanks,

I third ;)
You mean that people still pay for software? Donate to Open Source,
yes, definitely, but pay for commercial? :)
Even though I'm still learning this one and having a few troubles in
the process, I still say a big thank you!
Cheers,

Hi Louis,
thanks for the reply and the suggestion. Making a color as you suggest
would do something similar to what I want, but not quite exactly. As
far as I understand, the printer runs over the paper twice, once with C
and once with K; if the paper is not exactly aligned both times, you get
white borders around the K (where there was no C to begin with and the K
would have been if it were perfectly aligned), this is why they require
us to deliver source with overprint.
Looking around in a German forum I found out that Scribus 1.3.3.X does
not support overprint (so no wonder I wasn't finding it!) but 1.3.4
(devel) does, so upgrading does the trick for me.
By the way, 1.3.4 is very nice. Especially the style manager is a huge
step over the previous version, and the overprint function comes just in
time...
Luis

Andreas,
You asked where I found the Ghostscript file that I had originally
downloaded. It was here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125235
about half way down the page in a section called File Releases/aqua-
scribus.
It is the first file in the list. I didn't look at all the others in
the list. To be honest, at the beginning, I didn't really know what I
was looking for, so when there is an option of files, I choose the
topmost.
I've now downloaded what I think is the correct one - when upacked,
it has .framework in it, so I think that I'm on the right track.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi all,
I started working with Scribus yesterday and I faced that nasty bug that
prevents from setting sizes and positions of objects (I'm using Kubuntu and
my system is in french).
I searched over the net, and it seems to be a problem present in all
*ubuntu.
One workaround is to start scribus using "LC_ALL=C scribus". The downside
is that accents don't work anymore.
I eventually found another (better?) workaround: just remove the package
"scim-qtimm". That way I can start scribus normally, I can enter values for
sizes (manually or with the spinbox) and accented characters are working.

I'm evaluating the current state quality and dissemination of open source
graphics software for digital content creation.
Besides other software such as gimp and inkscape scribus will be included in
the survey.
I'm doing this for writing my master thesis. Thanks to all for helping by

Hi all,
So many questions that I've had - thanks for all your help.
Now that I've downloaded and installed the current version of
Scribus, 1.3.4, and Ghostscripter and Python and, according to http://
www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=3, put
them into the correct places, I have tried to follow the instructions
below, but in the External Tools preference, there is no
'Ghostscript' option.
Again, thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
Andrew

** Hi Anousak
Sorry fot my english, I'm going to explain below the features finded
in the font. And I think that is the same problem found in the KhmerOS
font.
For more infos ,see the proof version attached. I give all
there informations in order to Luis seeing what appens about troubles
reported.
- The font have a "symbol" encoding in my compiler!
- Assender is at 2200 upm, and descender at 1100 for a scale at 2048!
- Leading espect to see ghyph for this size, but I' haven't find one.
I Thing that this font is a basic large font keeping ANSI and LAO code
range: I can explain that because when you open the font properties
this ones give for code :
1252: Latin1
1252: latin2: east europe
1271: Cyrilic
1253: Greek
1254: Turkish
1255: Hebrew
1256: Arabic
1257: Windows basic
1258: Vietnamese
874 Thai etc
Only 1251 is realy supported, so the table of content for code page
isn't reordered.
- I have try to extract the opentype tables to view there component
in microsoft VOLT2.2. This one doesn't work (or empty)
In the Source TTX, for exemple, the kerning feature contain only 1 kern
pair:
<kern>
<version value="0"/>
<kernsubtable coverage="1" format="0">
<pair l="T" r="a" v="-200"/>
</kernsubtable>
</kern>
In addition, "post" table say:
<post>
<formatType value="2.0"/>
<italicAngle value="0.0"/>
<underlinePosition value="-164"/>
<underlineThickness value="48"/>
<isFixedPitch value="0"/>
<minMemType42 value="0"/>
<maxMemType42 value="0"/>
<minMemType1 value="0"/>
<maxMemType1 value="0"/>
<psNames>
<!-- This file uses unique glyph names based on the information
found in the 'post' table. Since these names might not be unique,
we have to invent artificial names in case of clashes. In order
to
be able to retain the original information, we need a name to
ps name mapping for those cases where they differ. That's what
you see below.
-->
<psName name="#1" psName=""/>
ps name for major ones
- As you can see in the proof version attached, PS names (in green) aren't
displayed. For an exemple the glyph AE81 as a default name: .notedef.071
in my compiler and for lao this one for unicode is uniAE81. It's a thing
that generate errors when compiled.
- I have some hinting instructions out of bound, but doesn't stop font
work.
- Other problem, when you open a font like arial for viewing you have
in french, and before the font name:
Police opentype, sign?e numeriquement, truetype outlines
or for Adobe or mine ones:
Police opentype, postscript outlines, ma?tre unique
This line don't appears in this font, suggesting that the GPOS
and GSUB, aren't correctly compiled (I think).
Have you use fontforge to make this font?
Hope that help you.
