Ah I see. At least there aren't too many, I guess I'll just have to go back and replace them all with images once the text layout is final.

As far as I can see in Acrobat, the emojis are pictures and not glyphs.

Does the PDF format support it? I would think in PDF the glyphs are drawn using postscript, using "strokes"?

Text and Typography / Emoji render in the editor win...

I picked up Scribus at the start of the year and have been working on a project that requires the use of emoji (they appear in submissions that I'm publishing in a sort of magazine). I have tried *several* emoji fonts but all of them that use colour consistently have issues. It appears that Scribus doesn't support SVG fonts, so I've tried fonts which use the COLRv0 and COLRv1 formats instead. COLRv1 seems to be pretty much totally non-functional, but with OpenMoji's COLRv0 version, I was able to get everything rendering properly in the editor window. However, when I export to pdf, none of the emojis appear at all. There is an invisible character though, which when copied and pasted into some other place with emoji support appears as some other characters and diacritics (I've had various combinations of Latin and Greek characters).

I'm using Scribus 1.6.3 on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. I have access to a Windows machine, could the OS or some interaction between Scribus and Ubuntu be the issue? Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Beginner Talk / Re: Image croping and scailing...

If I don't recall wrong you cannot really "crop" the image, what you can do is make the image frame smaller than the image (so only a part of it is visible). This gives the same appearance as cropping, however it is useful to be aware of the the full image will be in the generated PDF, even if only part of it is visible.

But I think the issue here might be that in older versions there was just one properties panel, now there are two. One for the object and one for the contents.
