General Discussion / Re: End of M$ publisher...
Last post by AdmFubar - Today at 12:34:45 AMNot sure where you are going with this.i dont follow what the issue is. It is irrelevant if it is a complete "rewrite". and one can just have the "ai" keep the previous version and add code from there. It can prolly add them ad modules/plugin. I wouldn't be surprised if that is how adobe does it.

Last post by Nermander - October 09, 2026, 09:09:24 PMThe issue with AI-created clones I think is future development. Instead of incrementally adding features, each version will probably be a complete rewrite.

Last post by AdmFubar - October 07, 2026, 05:22:33 AMThis .sla seems a bit wacky! 
I cant get it to print from a PDF.
Many questions for you but the most pressing is; where did you get "cdman sym font medium" from?

Last post by Yosua - October 06, 2026, 05:31:40 PMHi,
I am using Windows 11 [Version 10.0.26200.9457]
I am printing with Novapdf, but exporting to pdf from Scribus and printing the pdf with Acrobat Reader does the same problem.
PDF made from other programs print well, I have no problem of printing other pdf files.
Also EPS files exported from Scribus then open and printed with other program (Libreoffice) and SVG files also print badly with the same problem of dotted text.

Features / Re: User Interface
Last post by a.l.e - October 03, 2026, 10:52:47 AMWelcome to Scribus!
You probably have downloaded Scribus 1.6.6, which is indeed the current stable release but is also ancient.
(It's not ancient because it has been released long ago, but because it's the result of a development process that has been done 10 years ago!)
If you want to use a modern Scribus, you can download the development version 1.7.x.
A lot has been improved in the functionalities but also in the UI.
And while there is still a lot to be done, the new Scribus is much nicer to use.
A few more things:
You can install both versions in parallel on your computer.
At first, do not do production work with the development version.
You can save in the 1.6 format from Scribus 1.7 (still, at first, only work on backups with 1.7!)
We're interested in the feedback on 1.7, not on 1.6.
And if the above is all wrong, and you already checked the current development version, please, please, give us more details!
