Please note that this is a basic example, and in practice, you might want to handle more complex search and replace patterns, whitespace, case sensitivity, and other considerations depending on your specific use case and the tools or programming languages you are using.

You might want to try a vector graphic of the shape you want , set the parameters of fill and stroke colors, and convert it to a text frame.

if i understand your idea, this is the correct way:
  • define a background color for your text field (f2)
  • set the correct text 'distances' (f3)
  • let scribus adjust the height of the text field to the content
unfortunately the last step is still buggy and needs to be done manually.

Hey Utnik,

This 100% gets me the color and spacing I need for the background, however it doesn't accomplish the black "border lines" or "decoration" on the top or bottom. Is there a way to get something similar?

Would that allow the text backgroung to "scale" with the size of the text?

Alternatively is there a way to add a stroke to only the top and bottom of text blocks as opposed to the entire thing?

I have tried to copy paste the character from a website into a Scribus text frame, and all I got is one of those stupid squares (the ones shown when the glyph is missing...).

Before that I have had tried adding the glyph with "Insert > Glyphs" and copy pasting the code, and that broke my instance of Scribus: don't try it at home.
(I have made a bug report for that.)

Back to the character I could successfully paste.

I have then installed the font "Noto Emoji" from Google fonts (https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji), restarted Scribus and there it is the "wonderful" email sign : - )

That should work also for you!

Hello,

Thanks for your response.
Yes, I know that I must use a specific font but I have searched during hours and I haven't found.

Perhaps has someone an idea ?

Well, you need to use a font that has the glyph. So the first thing is to find a font that has it.
