Likely a problem with TextMaker. Make sure you are creating Styles -- 
this is where Style creation in Scribus works best. Otherwise, I'm not 
sure what linespacing, etc, might be used, perhaps some default value.

It would probably be worth your while as a test to get OpenOffice.org, 
load the file into it, see if it looks Ok there, then save it with 
oowriter, and see how that imports into Scribus.

No, the list does not accept attachments. Best to file a bug and upload 
there, but first I would recommend the above.
