Features / Re: Unequal/custom column widt...
Last post by a.l.e - Today at 02:15:24 PMAs I wrote to buttar, I'm not fond of the idea of having columns inside of text frames.
(The main reason: creating real columns with text frames (and guides) is in most cases just as easy and way more flexible)
Adding a way for customizing their widths brings even more complexity in the UI and in the code.
This having been said, I recall that, in the past, other (power) users have expressed some interest in the feature.
If I recall correctly, mostly for speeding up "repetitive" workflows.
Now, before thinking of integrating the changes proposed by buttar, it would be useful if the user who plan to use this feature have a look at the screencast he uploaded and check if this is what they need to get the job done.
And if it's close to what you dream of, propose changes...

Last post by buttar - September 16, 2026, 06:46:53 AMI 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.

Last post by matthijs - September 11, 2026, 09:42:58 PMHello 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

Last post by MrB - September 10, 2026, 09:31:35 PMGoogle 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 PMI'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?
