Text and Typography / Re: The italic font is not sho...
Last post by AdmFubar - July 01, 2026, 08:38:57 PMDid a quick test here and got the italic font showing in the document after reloading.
Now let me make sure I understand what you are asking about. The italics are not showing in the document? or the italics are not shown in the story editor? If the later, it's because scribus uses one font and style that is set just for the story editor.
Let us know which it is.

Text and Typography / The italic font is not showing
Last post by Temporal - July 01, 2026, 02:51:37 PMThis is really confusing me. I am creating a document using EB Garamond Regular. I have just edited a section to italicise names of film, etc., changing those terms to EB Garamond Italic in story editor mode. When I save and close, the text appears without any italics. I've checked a few times now and the relevant terms are still showing as EB Garamond Italic in story mode. Much confused!!

Last post by a.l.e - June 30, 2026, 11:07:19 PMI can see the issue with the current code and I could not find any rational reason for it.
Would you mind opening a ticket on https://bugs.scribus.net ?

Tables have been redone very recently and we might be able to fix this or it has even be fixed already...
OK, here is the .sla that I'm having problems with: problem.sla
And this is what it looks like to me: problem.png

Beginner Talk / Autosave apparently not workin...
Last post by rocking - June 30, 2026, 06:48:35 AMI've been using Scribus for about 5 years - started with version 1.5.7.1 and just upgraded to 1.7.1.svn.
I've had Scribus crash on me before (on v 1.5.7.1) and it would create an "emergencyXXXX.sla" file (fn may be slight different) that contained almost all of my edits.
However, today we had a power failure. I didn't expect an "emergency" file but I did expect an autosave file. I found neither. I lost close to 4 hours of work, so was rather aggrieved that the autosave did not save anything.
I checked in the directory that my document is working in - did not find any dot files or any autosave... file. I did confirm that the autosave is enabled. (Go to: File > Preferences, choose the "Document Setup" at left, then the "Saving & Undo tab
. "Enable automatic saving" is checked, interval: 10 mins, number of files to keep: 2, and the radio button for "Save into same directory as doc" is checked. (Other selections are: Try to save "emergency File", Keep backup files after closing, and show autosave countdown clock.)
I run on Linux, which I just upgraded (had to upgrade Scribus since the upgrade deleted it!!)
Linux rocky2 6.8.0-124-generic #124-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue May 26 13:00:45 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What is the problem? Why is autosave not working for me??

General Discussion / Where Can I Find Reliable Prog...
Last post by laraford - June 29, 2026, 11:20:30 PMI've been finding some programming topics harder than expected, especially when several deadlines come together. While looking for study support, I came across the term Programming Assignment Service UK, but I'm more interested in guidance that helps me understand coding rather than just providing solutions. What has worked best for you? Do you recommend tutors, university support, coding communities, or other assignment help resources for learning programming effectively?

Beginner Talk / Re: Premature text wrapping in...
Last post by ahorton - June 29, 2026, 07:39:20 PMOh, looks like I've hit exactly the same problem, in Scribus 1.6.1.
I have a table with two columns, and for no apparent reason the cells in the bottom one or two rows of the second column linewrap the text after a maximum of 4 characters. I've checked and double checked the text settings of each cell and there's no difference between the cells that are doing line breaks correction and those that do them after 4 characters. I've tried adjusting all the text properties related to alignment, spacing, margins, etc. but none of them stop the problem.

Beginner Talk / Full Path to Image File in SLA...
Last post by abend - June 24, 2026, 07:56:02 PMWindows 7
Scribus 1.6.4
Is there a way to get an image file's full path into the sla PFILE entry?
Is my question answered by a newer Scribus on Windows 10?
The PFILE entries in my sla files are relative, like this: PFILE="../../ImageFiles/P1/P1S1.tif".
Can I get Scribus to enter a full path like this: PFILE="Q:/photo/Files/ImageFiles/P1/P1S1.tif"?
