Last post by AdmFubar - August 04, 2026, 09:28:48 PMOne thing the Story Editor does well is just show the column and frame breaks, and no other "invisibles". Good for showing those from imported texts.

> if you don't really really really need it for the specific task.
Second: it's old crap and many modern useful fearures are not there and can't really be added to it.

afaik variable fonts are not supported in scribus (so far...)
there are old feature requests like this one. if you can provide a solution to render them while working and to convert them to static fonts in the export process, there might be a good chance to make them work.
your screenshot from libreoffice shows the predefined styles. does libreoffice support just them or the full variability of the font? (wich would include 49282 variants...)

Last post by ScribasTester - August 04, 2026, 12:46:24 PMI created and exported a simple *.idml with the mentionend fonts from Adobe InDesign v21.
InDesign-Test-File-for-Scribus-Support
As you can see from your Scribus -console, there seems to be a problem loading the various "subtypes" of the "Myriad Variable Concept" font
(I don't know the specific English term for it).
These are the fonts recognized by Scribus v1.7.3:

Scripts and Plugins / Re: Get or Set Image Rotation
Last post by BS69 - August 03, 2026, 12:46:36 PMHi,
So I am testing it since few weeks and it works very well. Again thank you !!!
I'm using this commands to crop images from my marine species photobook (more than 500 images so far) and it's a huge difference on the final pdf. I use a lot zoom and rotation, so only a part of the image is relevant to me.
A script entry to crop image or even a menu command would be fine, as when I search I saw many people trying to do it. The algorythm was quite tricky to me, now it works well, but not easy. I can give my code if anyone's interested.

Last post by ScribasTester - August 02, 2026, 12:20:38 PMMy fonts are all installed in C:\windows\fonts - the not detected font by Scribus is this Adobe InDesign-Font "Myriad Variable Concept":
Quote from: MrB on August 01, 2026, 09:54:40 PMIf you can provide a sample IDML file we can work to improve the import.I can not provide it, because it is my personal CV.
