Free discussion / Forum not very active...
Last post by F6EEQ - October 14, 2026, 09:55:31 AMI'm new to Scribus, coming from MS Publisher.
I asked a few questions but got no quick answer (I mean within some days or even more than a week).
In the mean time I found the answers playing with all commands and with the relative help of the Wiki...
So I removed them.
Seems this forum is not very active!
Cheers to all and hope reading you soon.

Last post by Yosua - October 14, 2026, 03:50:29 AMI have made some progress. After having all redone (created a new .sla file by copying all texts and graphics on the given template), I have now a .sla file that prints correctly all fonts, but exported PDF still prints bad. sla file is attached.

Nothing there.
Anyway, in my experience, a bad font can be the source of the problem.
Old TTFs are notorious.

Last post by Aleks100 - October 12, 2026, 10:08:30 PMCan you upload one or both of those freeware fonts on some filesharing server so I could check it?

Last post by Yosua - October 12, 2026, 03:24:43 AMQuotewhere did you get "cdman sym font medium" from?
The font file name is: cdman_pc.ttf
I used it only to print the Compact DISC digital audio symbol, I don't remember from where I downloaded it.
I have just changed the font to print the same symbol, the "OasisCDfont" instead of the "cdman sym font medium". This does change nothing to the printing problem.
Quotewhy embed fonts into a PDF instead of just converting all the text to curves?
Exporting to pdf with converting all to curves also did change nothing.

Layout Issues / Page layout bug? or not?
Last post by Sue Millard - October 11, 2026, 04:27:44 PMI produce an 88 to 100-page magazine twice a year for an animal charity and it is printed from PDF by a commercial printer.
The layout is an A5 booklet. I have set it up using Scribus since 2013.
I upgraded last year to Scribus 1.6.5 Flatpak and I have had real difficulty getting the margins to transfer correctly to the print proof PDF. I intended the inner and outer margins both to be 7mm (very similar to the program's Magazine preset layout). However, when sent to print they became inner 6mm and outside 8mm - and the crop marks "jump" left or right between facing pages.
The only way I've managed to stabilise the crop mark position for the printers is to assume that the "inner" and "outer" text boxes are actually the opposite way round in Master Page Properties and Document Setup.
Ie - in Document setup I have had to set the margins as Inside 6mm and Outside 8mm; and in Master Page Properties I have to set Inside 8mm and Outside 6mm. The result was equal margins as intended and stable crop marks. Phew!
Has anyone else documented this, and is it still a problem in more recent versions?
I have written my own instruction sheet for the next issue...
