Nice script!
My immediate question, in the saddle stitch do you have an option to account for so-called creep? Each consequent page will physically shift by the thickness of paper towards outer edge when assembled. Then, if you cut that edge, the printed margin will also shift by the PaperThickness * NumberOfSheets. Would be nice to implement such a function, if not present.

There is a virtual printer named Boomaga, which is doing similar task, but yours seems to be a bit more advanced.

Gnome49+ is Wayland only now. But from what I read XWayland is an automatic translator - I dont think I can choose it?

As far as I know, Wayland is still not really supported.

Some things work, others don't.

If I recall correctly, you need to start Scribus with XWayland...

When I choose PAGE > Insert.. to add pages to my document (in any configuration, eg: 1 page at end)
The entire work area goes black & no pages are visible.

I can see the new pages in the Arrange Pages tab, but I cant click on them & see the pages. All pages are vanished from main view. No work is possible.
I can save the document, close the app, re-open & the new pages will be there.

Ive tested this on .appImage 1.7.2 & my distros package install 1.6.5

System info:
Scribus version: 1.6.5 & 1.7.2
Distro: Manjaro 26 Gnome 49 (arch based)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U
GPU: Radeon Graphics
Display: Wayland

That was exactly it @utnik - when I changed the font size of the dropcap style to be the same as the font size of the rest of the text it worked perfectly. Thanks!

hi rvodden

try to reduce the font size of the style for the drop caps to something below the value of the baseline grid.

Looks like an issue with the font. I noticed that you are using different fonts in your examples. Try a different one for the problematic drop cap and see if that clears it up.

Beginner Talk / [SOLVED] Single Line Drop Caps
Last post by rvodden - February 20, 2026, 05:51:27 PM
I'm having a strange problem with DropCaps. I have a 2 line dropcap selected, and the drop cap has appeared 3 lines deep with only a single line following it:

In other places it works fine though:

Does anyone have any idea what is going?
