scribus on 4k display

[busscri]

Hello

I am using Scribus 1.6.2 on a 4K display and it is very painfull. Is there a way to upscale things?
I heard that scribus 1.7 might handle this much better. But I could not find a way to run it on my ubuntu machine.

You might want to try installin kvantum. I have it on my machine, but I just swapped out my 2k display for a 4k one to test(tv), but my system doesnt see allow the hight resolution . prolly need a graphics processor other then the one on the board, so I'm not sure if it will allow the enlargment like i suspect.

Hi AdmFubar, thanks.

interesting software but I dont think that is exactly what I was searching for. Might try it anyways. but seems a bit of understanding how things work behind the hood of kde qt based apps....

hi busscri,

please, can you share a screenshot? I guess the icon scale is too small in 1.6.2. Scribus 1.7.0 has SVG based icons that will scale by your screen scale factor.

What is your scale factor in your Ubuntu display settings?

Try this:

Code Select Expand

$ QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5 scribus &
