Hi Kunda,
Thanks for the response. I hadn't looked at the mailing list at all, so your comments are helpful.
I'm not sure if I will need to do any RTL languages, but it would probably be a good idea to be able to handle them with any system I set up.
Also, I'm not sure that scribus will work for me in a scripting form. Even if it works from the command line, I'm not sure if it would work in whatever server environment I end up with. I prefer to have a library that I can include in a script, or potentially directly within an asp.net application.
I haven't ruled out scribus, but I'm going to keep investigating other options too.
Thanks for the help.
