Hi Janusz, this exchange of views about ligatures has been a very interesting read for me, since this is something, I'm being asked almost every time I post about the progress of Scribus to Polish Usenet groups, e.g. pl.comp.dtp. It seems to be of crucial importance not only to you... There is a special feature request for it: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1413 I think, the best thing that you and people with your knowledge and well-defined needs can do at this stage of Scribus 1.3.x development, is to create yourself an account for http://bugs.scribus.net (it's just a few text fields and clicks) and add your comments and wishes there. This is where most features of Scribus are shaped, defined and where their pros and cons are discussed, bevor Scribus developers start to code them. cheers Maciej ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
