Last post by buttar - Today at 06:46:53 AM

I requested the same in the past and then recently I found this old ticket on the bugsite. I think there would be more that would like to have this feature for their regular/occasional workflow.

I took a shot at it and here is a clip in Matrix chat demonstrating the feature in action.

Kindly, comment you opinion on the same.

Hello Scribus Forum,

I review Scribus on my website gratissoftwaresite.nl
Excellent software by the way!

My question is: is it permitted to use the logo of Scribus on my website in the review and software listing?

best regards,
Matthijs, gratissoftwaresite.nl

Google will help you... https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/21bb/fontsupport.htm

Scribus doesn't ship with many fonts. Just download them through your OS package manager or source websites etc. Looks like DejaVu support them.

Text and Typography / Adding ↻ and ↺ in Scribus

Last post by juff - September 10, 2026, 05:45:53 PM

I'm making a document that would benefit greatly from being able to use the symbols for "clockwise" and "counterclockwise"  --- ↻ (U+21BB) and  ↺ (U+21FF).  Is there a font in Scribus that supports it?  I've tried several with no luck.  Or is there another option?

Thanks for the reply. I note that 1.7 isn't even in the Sid repository, which means that there are no current plans to include it in the next stable release.

I can't find much information on the style-based TOC but it doesn't sound like it would actually work for me. I gather the intent is for a ToC to be generated based on text styles, such as heading levels, which would work for documents that are set up that way - like a textbook perhaps.

My document doesn't have a particular style that defines sections. Indeed the listing of the ToC is somewhat arbitrary but generally makes some sense based on content. Most of the sections have their own styles with just character styles and colours being common to the entire document.

I also usually have an index of advertisers, with the ads usually being graphics of various sizes, so again it would be difficult to do this based on styles.

The attribute system however seems well suited for both uses. I hope the intent is not to ditch it. It has its limitations but is better than manually building a ToC or index.

I don't know when the generator broke but it is not working now. I did file a bug report for it.
