   Thanks for this information. As I mentioned, I know next to nothing 
about Inkscape. It is good to know that it is not yet ready to handle 
much text and that the printing still needs improvement. In my 
original questions, I was specifically asking why John Culleton 
prefers Scribus over whatever other options he has for cover design. 
 From my point of view, poor handling of multipage documents (a trait 
shared by other applications based on the drawing-board model, such 
as Illustrator and Freehand) is not relevant in that situation. My 
reason for asking is that I would find it very cumbersome to do that 
particular type of work in Quark or InDesign.

Best,
John
