Sorry, I guess I was just mislead by the behavior you described (distilling etc.) I was using ESP Ghostscript 815.01 (2005-08-25) Copyright (C) 2004 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved. instead I compiled GPL Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17) Copyright (C) 2006 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved. but it didn't seem to make any difference on the EPS import... but I think I was too harsh in my initial judgment of the EPS import. It looked odd because a gradient filled polygon had disappeared, no doubt for the :origin out of polygon" reason you describe. But apart from that, the EPS -> native Scribus shapes import was actually impressively good. Trying to import the SVG still seems unhappy, I notice this time that it actually presented me with an outline rectangle to place, which looked like it was the right size, but when I clicked it down it just opened a window titled "Warning", but with no content, and is now using 100% CPU (but doesn't seem to be eating RAM), anyway, it hasn't returned after several minutes so I suppose that's a crash. Anyway, thanks for the response, now that I see how close the EPS import was to working properly I'm happy... oh, now I notice it also left out a custom pattern filled thing, but gs doesn't seem to see it either, so either gs or Inkscape left that out. gs does get the gradient right though. Cheers -Terry
