Hmm..While not in the same league, you can try kword as well.. It has frames and has potential to be a good DTP software.. Lyx/Latex of course are creations of God, but not everybody is going to be comfortable with them.. Try Mandrake 9. You will find that KOffice 1. is actually pretty usable barring reading MS documents... BTW, by KOffice 1.3, koffice and openoffice plam to have same document format. That way simplest way to get to koffice would be via openoffice.. Of course openoffice will held it's niche given that it runs on windows as well.. But then there will be a much better level playing field.. > Photoshop can partially be replaced by GIMP (but not fully, since some > stuff in photoshop is patented). > About the fonts, you can use TrueType fonts in Linux, but since > there really isn't a proper standard for Indic fonts at the moment, any > Indian fonts may or may not work in Linux. I suggest unicode.. The kind of mess people has made with indic fonts, like each web site having it's own ttf font and none of them covers complete char. set to make it worse.. Some people who live at PLUG(http://plug.org.in) have prepared few nicode indic fonts.. You can go thr. archive or mail me personally..
