Beginner Talk / Re: No text color options avai...
Last post by JWHYHFR - Today at 12:28:55 PMThank you very much for your quick response. I followed your advice, and it did indeed solve the problem with selecting background colors. However, I'm also having an issue with the font color. In the "Text Properties / Colors and Effects" pane, the pen icon is grayed out and it says "black 100%." I don't have access to the drop-down menu, which would allow me to change the settings. Thank you in advance for your help, once again

Last post by a.l.e - Today at 10:07:32 AMFor some reason you have "lost" all the colors.
You can add new ones in the "Edit > Colors and fills"... or merge into there the "Scribus Basic" set of colors and get back the ones that are normally defined by default.
And if new documents also have "no colors", then you can add the colors in "Edit > Colors and fills" when no document is open.

Beginner Talk / No text color options availabl...
Last post by JWHYHFR - Today at 09:23:58 AMHello, can anyone help me? When I install Scribus 1.6.6 and type a line of text, I can't change the text color. In the F3 "Text Properties" panel, it's stuck on black, and in the F2 panel, the background color options are only black, registration, and white. Thank you very much in advance.

Last post by chalavi - September 24, 2026, 02:35:54 PMHere is the zip file (scribus_sources-1.7.3/scribus/plugins/gettext/)
These files are for Scribus 1.7.3.
Note : All the styles from Libreoffice are imported (used or unused). More than 400 styles... but there is an option in Scribus 1.7.3 (not in 1.6.6) which permit to delete all unused styles.

you could work with layers. the page numbers will be visible if the pagination is on the second layer of the master page (gabarit) and you place the image on the background layer.
interlacing of the layers:
third layer of the document page
third layer of the master page
second layer of the document page
second layer of the master page
background layer of the document page
background layer of the master page

What OS are you using? version? hardware too! what software are you using to print the pdf?
your issue seems to be related to the printer driver. also what version of ghostscript are you using? and have you tried an appimage or snap to test if the issue is present i those versions?

I know that this is a 12 year old topic, but that's here that I landed after many hours many days of searching about this problem of text printed as dots. I just installed Scribus 1.6.7 after I had uninstalled Scribus 1.6.6 that had the same printing problem. The text in exported PDF (or directly printed) look sharp on screen even at big magnification, but is printed like seen on a low definition monitor. Same thing for printing directly from Scribus. I have tried the hundreds of settings changes I found online, in vain. PDF created from other software print normally on my Xerox phaser 3330 printer. Has this problem ever been solved? Thank you for your attention!

Last post by a.l.e - September 22, 2026, 08:17:30 PMI guess that for many workflows, having "static" footnotes is more than good enough!
But if somebody has a friend named Claude that can help fixing the references in Scribus, they're welcome : - )
