Features / User Interface
Last post by immamad - October 02, 2026, 08:45:06 PMNot sure if this is where I would submit feedback or if there is another section or e-mail address I could send it to.
The program feels very light weight which is nice. It does not appear to take up a lot of resources (I could be wrong).
I just started using this today, but the first thing I noticed is the user interface is not organized or user friendly. All the tools to edit things are out of view, which is fine, but then when I start adding them in the windows just floating around. Editing the text feels complicated. Even things like changing up the text styles seem buried in the window. The user interface feels like it needs an update to streamline and organize tools better.

Text and Typography / Re: bastardic fonts
Last post by a.l.e - October 02, 2026, 06:09:32 PMOn a more "serious" track, here a longer talk that explains how Unicode works:
... for those who want to know better, what they can expect from Scribus and how much work has been done by our developers and those who created the libraries we use (or for the bits that are still missing, how "crazy" are the things that need to be worked on!)

PDF Generation / Cover page issues with DriveTh...
Last post by GameSprite - October 01, 2026, 01:35:57 AMNo matter what I do, I keep getting error messages that my page height isn't correct, even when it tells me it's the exact height they need. My doc is in A5 format, so it's looking for 8.27 (or 8.268) inches, and everything on Scribus and in the PDF export windows says it's good, but DTRPG doesn't like it. (Yes, I've monkeyed with the bleeds.)
It accepted my interior file (28 pages) with no problem. Anybody have any ideas, or is it time to go to itch . io?

Last post by JWHYHFR - September 30, 2026, 03:58:46 PMA big thank you to a.l.e, AdmFubar, and finally, to you, utnik. I should have checked the help section before asking for your help. But I first ran into a problem with the background colors (now fixed), and I didn't want to start working on my project with a potential second issue. Thank so much.

what is grayed out in your screenshot is not the text (fill) color. it is the color of the outline of your text. you can select a color here as soon as you use outlined text.

Last post by a.l.e - September 29, 2026, 07:57:55 PMI don't think that the issue is with the colors or the Scribus version.
Would you mind sharing a screenshot that shows the text frame and the content palette?
