Hi, First of all, I must congratulate the scribus folks for already a very good job done!! Scribus at 1.2 is already very good at making PDF++!! The .sla in XML format is something that I like the most.
I looked at Scribus 1.3 road-map and saw my favorite character-styles on top of the list, but will it include nested styles ? I also found that I couldn't raise or lower text arbitrarily!! The superscript/subscript/smallcaps can only be adjusted globally for all fonts, but let us say I want to raise/lower them differently for different fonts? I must say there is another weird use of raising and lowering text (along with arbitrary negative kerning) that makes all of LaTeX maths possible in Scribus (if you don't believe me I can send you PDF-samples done in InDesign). This I must say is just to put in a strong word for its inclusion in the 1.3++ roadmap (even in openoffice you couldn't raise/lower it beyond 100%).
