[SOLVED] Text frame spacing

[BN_Dev]

Hi folks,

I have created two near-identical text frames in Scribus and QuarkXPress, but the text in the Scribus frame (using the same point size, line height, type face, etc.) is much lower in the frame than in Quark.

I can't seem to do anything to get the text in Scribus to actually flush to the top of the frame.  Any pointers appreciated please.

QuarkXPress:


Scribus:


The only thing I did notice was the blinking caret height in both was touching the top of the text frame (had to time screenshots perfectly to catch this).

Many thanks,
Paul

My guess is that QuarkXPress uses the height of the actual text, while Scribus uses the maximum height of the font.

I have a slight memory that in Scribus you can change this setting though.

What you are looking for is in the text properties window, in the Advanced Settings, the first option is the Offset to Baseline of Characters.

Thanks both, you are correct and that's the solution we were looking for hiding away there.
