Beginner Talk / Re: Style and font size
Last post by AdmFubar - Today at 10:44:53 PMcan you show us a screen shot of the style that you created? opens the style manager and select the new style. The window should expand then do a screen capture.

Last post by AdmFubar - Today at 10:23:15 PMWhat I think you really want to use here are templates, and maybe some master pages as well. You can import the styles from the other document, from the style window, there is an import button to do this.

Beginner Talk / Re: Style and font size
Last post by PatJr - Today at 09:23:02 PMIs it a paragraph style of a character style?
Was any of the text directly formatted not using a defined style, like from using F3 ?

Beginner Talk / Style and font size
Last post by kees - Today at 08:13:49 PMHi,
I created a style and changed the font and the font size.
When I apply the style to a part of the text, the font changes but the font size stays the same.
Am I forgetting something?
I am using the Scribus 1.6.2 Appimage on Linux Mint.

Beginner Talk / text not appearing in text box
Last post by inkfountain - Today at 07:09:27 PMI'm so frustrated. I have been working with Scribus for a few days & made a number of documents. Today I made a new template to start from, but I can't get my text to show up when I type in a text box. If I copy and paste a text box from a different document, it works. When I type in the text editor window, everything shows up. However, nothing shows up on the document itself. The settings for text are the exact same as they are on the documents where I can type in the text. I have restarted the program, closed and opened the documents, and nothing seems to work to get text to show up in a text window in a new document. What else can I do?

Last post by inkfountain - Today at 07:06:48 PMI did, but that did nothing.
I deleted everything in the templates folder and started over and that worked.

Code / Re: Best forum
Last post by a.l.e - Today at 12:32:04 PMNice to read your thoughts.
The only thing I can contribute for now: I'm not sure if it's worth to get into SVN, if you don't know it yet.
You won't interact with the Scribus' own SVN server, except for pulling updates that have been merged into the official code.
If you're proficient with Git, stick with it and focus on working on the features you need.
At the end of the day, the only way for you to propose patches will be through attachements in the bug tracker and, for that purpose, it does not matter if you got the code (and manage it) with SVN or Git.
And, currently, most people (if not everyone) proposing patches to the team is using Git: the "mixed" workflow is well tested : - )

did you tell scribus where to find them? ('preferences' → 'paths' → 'document templates')

General Discussion / Re: Latex rendering problems i...
Last post by Krina234pestro - Today at 08:17:10 AMHello,
You are encountering a common issue with Scribus on Windows when using LaTeX to render mathematical formulas. The problem you're describing, where the red box with the temporary PDF filename appears but not the rendered formula, often points to issues related to file paths, permissions, or Scribus configuration. Here are a few steps and checks that might help resolve the issue:
1. Check File Paths
Ensure that all file paths used by Scribus and LaTeX are correct and do not contain spaces or special characters. Scribus on Windows sometimes has trouble with paths that contain spaces. Try placing your document and temporary files in a directory with a simple path (e.g., C:\Scribus\).
2. Verify LaTeX Installation
Double-check that MikTeX is correctly installed and that Scribus can find it. Sometimes the path to MikTeX may not be correctly set up. Ensure that the MikTeX executables are included in your system's PATH environment variable.
3. Permissions
Ensure that Scribus has the necessary permissions to access the directory where the temporary PDF files are generated. If Scribus cannot read these files, it might not render them correctly.
4. LaTeX Configuration in Scribus
Make sure that Scribus is correctly configured to use LaTeX:
Open Scribus.
Go to File > Preferences > External Tools.
Check the paths for pdflatex and xelatex to ensure they point to the correct executables in your MikTeX installation.
5. Test with a Simple Document
Create a very simple LaTeX document and try to render it in Scribus. This can help determine if the problem is with your specific document or with Scribus and LaTeX integration in general.
6. Update Scribus and MikTeX
Ensure that both Scribus and MikTeX are updated to the latest versions. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer versions that might resolve your issue.
7. Temporary File Handling
Verify if the temporary PDF files generated by LaTeX are being created and accessed properly. Sometimes, Scribus might be having trouble accessing these files if they are being locked or not properly closed by LaTeX.
8. Alternative Tools
As a temporary workaround, if the problem persists and you need to meet a deadline, consider using another LaTeX tool or convert your formulas to images manually and import them into Scribus. This isn't ideal but can help you continue working while troubleshooting the main issue.
Hope that helps!
