I've seen a script doing it somewhere recently.
Basically it was increasing the font until text frame was overflowing and then decreased the font until it was not. I think a magic constant was there, for a corner case.

I agree with a.l.e it is not a greatest idea.

WRT images. Save project as uncompressed and you can open *.sla in a text editor - it is a XML data - and check how are paths to images stored. - search for "PFILE" text, at least in 1.6.4 it is name of attribute. I've hit this problem when on one of my computer the folder was a symlink.

i removed all pictures on pc1 and saved sla file again.
on pc2 when i load a picture in the empty imageframe the picture is not shown.

this is not my experience. (...and i just checked it with scribus 1.6.4 on mac os 26.0.1.) as long as the images are on the same volume as the .sla file i see relative paths.
under 'extras' → 'manage images' scribus shows the absolute path. but that's not what is stored in the file. take a look at the code an you will find a relative path.
if the folder '/fotos' is managed by the operating system, it might have another name or another path 'under the hood' than the one the user sees.
(on my computer there is a standard folder called 'bilder'. but in the console its path says '/users/my username/pictures'...)

but as long as the relative path is the same, scribus should find the images.

For the text, it looks as if all text frames are overflowing. Do the two PCs have the same fonts?

You can easily check this by opening the text frames in the story editor and see if the text is there.

For the images, Scribus unfortunately uses absolute paths, so if you for example have different user names on the two PCs it may fail to locate the images (there is a picture manager to help with that situation though).

Voilà, after having struggled a bit to get a few "strange" things to work, now I have:

  • A new Scripter command setObjectContour()
  • A script that uses it to apply a contour line that it has detected with OpenCV!

During the weekend, I will need to do some cleanup, publish the patch for Scribus and publish the script!

Pagestream has a feature that is close to this. You could select the text tool and click on the page and start typing, the text box would appear with the text box sized to the font. I may have to try the demo and see how it works exactly as it has been about 30 years since i've used it.

The scrapbook is an often overlooked feature of Scribus.
