Ok I did a test in 1.7.0 svn of Scribus. It works as expected.  I created paragraph style and a couple of character styles. Applied styles. Edited the character style and clicked apply. The changes were applied. This might be fully implemented in 1.7.0 . I've not tried it in 1.5.8.  or .6 YMMV.

After setting all margins to 1/4 inch in Document Setup and in PDF Export, the margins in the printed version measured a 1/2 inch each when printed from an exported PDF file by my local print shop. Did I miss something?

is this the little shoes thing?
I tried it and it seemed to work but maybe I'm not clicking on the right thing.
Is it a link, an external link, or a web link ?

Layout Issues / Scribus crashing when I try to...

I'm not sure this is really a layout issue, but I don't know where to put my question.

Scribus has started crashing whenever I try to add a link to text on Master Pages. I create the text, then click the "Insert Link Annotation" button and click and drag to create the box where I want the link, but when I double click that new box to add the link information, Scribus immediately shuts down without saving - no error, it just closes. I've done some experimenting and it seems to work when I add links to a normal page, but crashes when I'm trying to add links to Master Pages. (I'm working on a new newsletter template, so there are links that are always the same.)

I'm using Scribus 1.4.8 on a laptop running Windows 11. I reinstalled Scribus 1.4.8 and updated my Ghostscript (no idea if that could possibly help, but I did it anyway...) to 10.01.1. I also tried installing Scribus 1.5.8 and using that, but the same thing happened.

I've been using Scribus for a while and never had this problem before. Nothing has changed in my system, so I'm not sure what to do! Help!

Thanks,
Leslie

I've seen that a problem in vector graphics programs, something to do with the anti aliasing
like RodneyLee suggested, gimp, krita, photoblahblah might be able to make a bitmap better
also, try to make the images at the size and resolution to the size you want them in the document, the less scaling the software has to do the better

my 2 cents any way

when I tried this, it seems to work like you want
but maybe I don't understand what you want

maybe sketch up a hierarchy tree to make a picture of how you want the styles to work?

it is easy to see how this will spin out of control and get very confusing almost from the get-go
pile on top of that the inheritances styles, it's a spider web

I'm extremely new to this. I'm making a deck of cards and it's generating this line on transparent background pngs.

Quote from: AdmFubar on March 28, 2023, 04:02:34 AMThe character style, separate from the paragraph style wont have and effect on the paragraph style you created. It should simply change the character(s) selected to newly  defined style, leaving the rest untouched.

Yes, but, as it stands right now I have to set (or accept defaults) for font, font size, alignment, etc which would override the already set paragraph style values for those on the text I apply the character style to, unless I'm somehow missing an option or checkbox somewhere. So, what I'm asking is, does that option exist?
