If you start Scribus from the command line you will see a lot of logging, and this may indicate if it gets stuck.

Otherwise the most common reason for windows not showing is that they somehow have ended up outside the screen. But on Windows you should then at least be able to see it is open if you Alt-Tab.

I'd try to move (so you can use them if it does not help) Scribus config files and let it regenerate them.

Maybe I need a clarification what exactly you're doing and what exactly "No open window on the screen." means.
And maybe what OS (from task manager mention I guess Windows) are you using.

Btw. right now I've managed to hide a document window within Scribus behind Content properties dock. You can try to use Windows->Cascade menu if available.

Scribus won't open an existing .sla or start a new document. 
I have turned off and on my computer, unistalled and reinstalled 1.6.4, installed 1.7.0 and still nothing.
I moved the file I want to open to a folder with only the 4 .sla files.
The file is for a 20 page newsletter with many pictures but just 372 KB.
The task manager shows no cpu usage and the memory pegged at 88.6MB.  No error message.  No open window on the screen.
And naturally, I'm on deadline.

Last post by tanzeem - October 07, 2025, 12:25:31 PM
When running Scripter API and trying to insert an HTML content to a textframe and applying paragraph style using scribus.setParagraphStyle(style)
I get a dialog box confirmation that:
The Font Bold is not installed. Use Dejavu Sans, Book instead along with a select box to select the font.
If I give the selection, everytime i run the script, the dialog pops up.
and i get the portion that is bold get bold.
If i cancel it, the portion doesnt get bold and dialog never comes up.
Can I set a default font in such cases? How to do it.

Check your font version.

Quote from: AdmFubar on October 06, 2025, 09:53:50 PMOk looked over the file. cant find an issue. I'm thinking there might be something wrong with the font. Have your tried another font and see if the issue persists?


side note, i have forgot to mention to zip of the entire directory from the collect to output and attach that.  ::)

That seems to be it! Picking a different font fixed the issue. Thank you!

Windows 11/Scribus 1.64 64bit/
everything looking fine, no forced justification
