Hi Staffan, that's clearly another thing to do, and it doesn't affect my issue directly, it would rather complement it:
Once you had defined the different standard shapes for a given font (my idea), you could define the paragraph formats for the import (your idea). Yes, that would be cool :-) Rolf Am 26.02.2013 19:11, schrieb Staffan Melin (Oscillator): > Hi! > > I think the energy should be spent on making the OpenDocument text > import handle character styles (and functioning paragraph styles). > > When receiving texts there should be a step BEFORE Scribus where a > text doc is prepared for importing into Scribus, ie all formatting > converted into proper chara and para styles. > > See my suggested workflow at: http://libregraphicsproduction.com/ > > Kind regards, > > Staffan > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 5:22 PM, Rolf-Werner Eilert > <eilert-sprachen at t-online.de> wrote: >> In my work with Scribus, there are frequently texts from other people from >> word processors which are hardly formatted.
