> Can anyone recommend any simple desktop publishing programs Both kword and scribus do this easily, and both are out of the box, i.e. no need to compile (well for me anyway). You might want to also install a large number of fonts, which you'll have to source from something other than a typical linux distribution (i.e. spend money). Various billyware can be a good source, or try www.fontsite.com's fontsite500 CD (US$50). Fontsite is probably not regarded as top class, but for birthday cards that's a non-issue and it's cheap for a large selection. Font installation is kind of trivial (unpack into directory, run SuSEconfig - or use the KDE font installer).
