Beginner Talk / Re: Caption numbers for images

If you enable Scribus experimental features, you can set marks and reference them, but I don't think that you can reference its value or set it to reference a counter (and get its value).

How are images numbered in the caption with chapter and consecutive number and referenced in the text?

"It's a newspaper published in Türkiye in the languages of four different regions of Russia: Abkhaz, Adyghe (Western and Eastern), Chechen, and Ossetian."

Are these 4 language dictionaries available for libreoffice? 


"The result is nothing. However, when I select Russian as the language, it performs hyphenation, but it's incorrect.
So, it's based on Russian."

And does the hyphenation work correctly in libreoffice?

If libreoffice handles the spelling and hyphenation correctly then half of the issue is solved (spelling) and you would have to manually hyphenate your scribus document. You would need to use the same font in both LO and scribus  and match the page parameters and font size to guide the layout in scribus.

I'm sure there will be exceptions, but should be workable until the hyphenation issues are resolved.

You may have to inquire with Document Foundation devs (or however maintains those dictionaries) to get the them updated to handle the hyphenation correctly. There maybe someone working on this and needs feedback from users to help correct these issues.

Tutorials, Tips and How-Tos / How to add emojis to your layo...
Last post by IanicM - May 01, 2026, 06:19:04 PM
I was looking for a solution for myself and managed to get emojis to appear in my text field for a project I'm working on, so I thought I'd share how to do it with you all.

Step 1. Get emoji fonts from Google Fonts. Either Noto Color Emoji, or Noto Emoji.

Step 2. Add those font files to your Windows/Font folder.

Step 3. Start Scribus, load or create a new project.

Step 4. Draw a Text Frame and set the font to your Emoji font.

Step 5. Open the story editor.

Step 6. Visit this website and click on any emoji you want to use. https :// getemoji . com/

Step 7. Paste the emoji in the Story Editor. The emoji will appear.

That's it. You're done.

Hope this is useful to someone else.

Text and Typography / Hyphenation and spell checking
Last post by erdyil2 - May 01, 2026, 02:17:42 PM
Hello. I've been using Scribus for a long time and for about a year I've been creating a digital newspaper in four languages.

It's a newspaper published in Türkiye in the languages of four different regions of Russia: Abkhaz, Adyghe (Western and Eastern), Chechen, and Ossetian.

I want to perform spell checking and hyphenation for these four languages, but I can't figure it out. I added the Adyghe (Eastern-Kabardian) and Ossetian .dic and .aff files, which I found as an add-on for Libre Office, to C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.7.3\share\dicts\hyph\hyph_kbd_RU.dic and hyph_os_OS.dic.

Similarly, I added the kbd_RU.aff, kbd_RU.dic, os_OS.aff, and os_OS.dic files to the C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.7.3\share\dicts\spelling folder.

The result is nothing. However, when I select Russian as the language, it performs hyphenation, but it's incorrect.
So, it's based on Russian.

My request to the Scribus developers is: just as Russian, English, and French are automatically added and work flawlessly, wouldn't it be possible to make it work the same way for these four languages?
Or could you guide me on how I can do this?
By the way, I'm using Scribus 1.7.3 on Windows 10.

I can also send PDF copies of the newspaper I prepared to those who can help.
If requested, I can also send the Scribus files.

By the way, I'm experiencing the same problem in Turkish. I prepared my text in Turkish and Google Translate translated it.
I apologize if there is a bad translation :)
Many thanks to everyone who contributed.

Don't worry too much about SVN vs Git...

It's probably the same.

Thank you MrB and a.l.e for your feedback and suggestions. I'll figure out how to do the proper report in Mantis. I also think I need to redo this code against the svn commit, as I was using the one from git.

Alright, meanwhile I tumbled over the specs of PDF/X being specified for printing and filtering all the stuff that could crash or disturb this process. Links that are not as such readable are of course filtered in this case.

However, for all the screen readers, an embedded link function would be great.
