Text and Typography / Re: html import of em spaces
Last post by a.l.e - March 20, 2025, 05:23:48 PM
i guess that just typing an em space should work...

i had a look at the html importer and a/ it looks rather old and b/ i could not understand how it has been built...

the strange thing: emdash does work, emspace gets lost, and there is no trace of entities handling in the html reader...

Quote from: agilulfo on March 20, 2025, 09:58:52 AMI discovered that it is not even possible to import text file (libreoffice odt, word doc-docx, txt) but only vector files (pdf, corel draw, libreoffice draw, adobe illustrator, etc).
Why?

Because you are using the wrong function.

Create a text frame. Right click and select Get text. Then you can import odt, word, txt etc into the text frame.

Thanks a.l.e.

I tried F3 and it worked (in 1.6.3). There is an item labelled 'Columns and Text Distances' which allows me to set the number of columns and the gap between them.

ehm ehm...

in scribus, you put text in text frames.

and you have to create the text frames before you can do anything with text.

may i suggest you, that you look at a tutorial first?
if possible, one that teaches the "in frame" editing and not the "internal editor".

Doesn't work "text frame selected".

Nice logo : - )

Since there seems to be only one small issue with the imported shapes, you can simply fix your logo after you're imported the PDF as a vector:

- ungroup the logo
- start the "node edit" mode on the shape that should not be closed
- use the "cut" tool in the node editing to cut both nodes that are wrongly joined
- delete the now loose segment
- exit the edit node mode
- group again the items (technically, you can alt-click the item in the group that you need to edit and, then, you don't need to first ungroup the items in the logo)

I've attached a .sla with your logo in the ticket your have created.

P.S.: Here is also a short screencast with the simpler shape you uploaded:

Hi all,

Thanks for your answer !

I'm using Windows 11 with Scribus 1.6.1

The ai file was made with Adobe Illustrator in native. Scribus don't import it without error message.

The logo have an open shape. So Scribus add the final liento close it.

When i import pdf, in the import window, i see the pdf correctly but after the import, scribus modify it !

I think i will send it to the devs for reporting a bug.

Thanks
