Languages, Translation and Localisation / Chinese characters (Hànzì)
Last post by Gerard Pérez - January 04, 2025, 08:16:48 PMHi,
I tried to insert a text with some Chinese characters, pinyin and other kind of characters, and the Chinese characters doesn't appear (instead, it's shown black frames).
It's possible to fix that?
Thanks

# In a multi-page Scribus document:
# 1 Select the textbox containing one or more columns.
# 2 Enter the number of the last page where you want to sequentially copy this textbox.
# 3 Choose "Yes" if you want the text to flow continuously from the first textbox to the last.
# 4 Choose "Yes" if you want to maintain the textbox positions as they would be in a facing-page document.

Last post by weg - January 03, 2025, 12:59:25 AMThank you all 3 for your replies.
I am a programmer, so had contemplated writing
a post pdf python apt to fill my requirement.
I thought something might already exist.
We will consider moving to Scribus with
some more testing.

Free discussion / Re: Bible layout
Last post by Aleks100 - January 02, 2025, 08:39:54 PMHad some extra time do play with old plugin for linking text in Scribus and got something that could help a little. Nothing about vertical and horizontal lines, though. Vertical could go to master pages.

General Discussion / Re: Pre-Sales Question
Last post by a.l.e - January 02, 2025, 02:25:43 PMSlightly longer answer: Scribus can do most things Publisher can do.
Probably, in Scribus there is a way to achieve all you can do in Publisher.
Sometimes, it's less straightforward.
Sometimes, Scribus provides more "professional" features, which are not always as easy to use.
Both are apps for layout, and it should not be too hard to discover how to get things done in Scribus.
And do not hesitate to ask here, if you have doubts or get stuck!

General Discussion / Pre-Sales Question
Last post by glenpierce15 - January 01, 2025, 12:52:25 AM12/31/24 MS Publisher ended last night for me. Would Scribus handle the following for me.
Looking for something simple and a one time cost versus MS annual fees, and drop us at the end.
In MS Pub I would setup say 20 pages. This is for my genealogy. On each page, I make a text box. I add genealogy info in each box. Often, I copy page or insert a photo.
When done, I export as a PDFfile.
Then I go to my WIX site. I hit a few buttons and bring in that PDF file. Done.
I don't need anything else. Will Scribus do this? Thank you for your advice. Glen
