Hi everyone This is my first post to your list so treat me gently ...
I have been following Scribus for a while, indeed I used 0.7 a while back for some small posters. I am looking to use Scribus via an nx server to several users at my company. So far so good. But we have a mish mash of document formats to import into Scribus. The hardest ones may be my Coreldraw 9 files. I have created eps files from CorelDraw and imported them into Scribus with varying degrees of success. There are many different switches possible in Coreldraw for eps creation, I really do not know which ones are important for most successful importation into Scribus. I am using Ubuntu 4.1, Scribus 1.2.1CVS Oct 2004, and Ghostscript AFPL 8.14 and littlecms 1.12 The best results I get show text, but never any bitmap images. The rest of the layout, ie lines etc are fine, but whenever I get text imported, the text is always created as a series of shapes not as editable text. Coreldraw's eps export has an option to export as text or as curves but this seems to make no difference. I really want to make this work, but at the least need editable text before this will be a semi- satisfactory system. Scribus itself is fine for me, but I really need some means to import these Coreldraw files !! Any help or advise welcomed ;-) -- Best Regards, Julian Robbins Applications Engineer julian.robbins at q-par.com
