Text and Typography / Re: Deleting fonts from system...
Last post by utnik - May 11, 2026, 05:00:14 PM
in scribus 1.7.3 you could go to ,preferences' → ,fonts', select the first font, then scroll down to the last one and select it while pressing the shift key. now you might deactivate all your fonts with the context menu. after that just reactivate your preferred fonts. (this won't affect already existing files. but it will work for all the files you create afterwards...)

unfortunately this doesn't work in scribus 1.6.6 as you can't select multiple fonts. here you would have to click once for every single font to deactivate it – a time consuming process if you have tons of fonts...

Last post by StainlessB - May 11, 2026, 03:48:39 PM
I am on a Mac, and after a few years, I use only a small number of the same fonts. i have gone into Preferences numerous times, and the list is overkill. Instead, is it possible to build a font library file and remap so only  Scribus uses? My other apps  seem much more efficient at font management?

Thanks

Beginner Talk / A few layout questions
Last post by Philr227 - May 10, 2026, 05:06:48 PM
Started using the program last night to play around with the layout for a novel, using the book template, and there are a few things I'm not entirely sure how to pull off;

1. How would I go about adding a table of contents for my chapters?

2. How do I alter the page numbers, so that page 1 is the first page of the story?

3. How do I edit the title/author headings on the pages?

Thanks in advance.

Layout Issues / Re: Création d'un style avec b...

En sélectionnant le bloc de texte et en ouvrant la fenêtre des propriétés, vous pouvez définir la couleur de la bordure. Il n'est pas encore possible d'appliquer des styles aux bordures des blocs de texte (du moins jusqu'à la version 1.7.1), mais cette fonctionnalité pourrait être disponible dans la dernière version de développement. Quelqu'un pourra certainement nous tenir au courant.




Selecting the text frame, and opening the properties window, you can set the color of the border. There isnt an option to assign styles to the borders of text frames yet, at least up to version 1.7.1, this might be available in the latest development version. I'm sure someone here will let us know.

Bonjour à tous,

J'utilise actuellement la version 1.6.6 et je rencontre quelques difficultés pour mettre en forme mon document.

Bien que je sache déjà créer des styles (coloration du texte, surlignage/fond), je bloque sur un point précis : je souhaiterais créer un encadré avec une bordure colorée autour d'une partie de mon texte pour le faire ressortir et attirer l'attention.

Ma question est simple : comment réaliser cela ? Idéalement, j'aimerais que cette configuration soit intégrée directement dans un style afin de pouvoir l'appliquer facilement.

Je tourne en rond sans trouver la solution, alors merci d'avance pour votre aide !

Beginner Talk / Re: Caption numbers for images
Last post by a.l.e - May 06, 2026, 05:10:54 PM
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.
