Hi Greg, Thank you for your answer.

You're talking about Scripter2? As far as I know it may be included in 1.6 but since 1.6 seems far away I try to do this with the current stable branch. > What you might consider in Python is to create a function with a > collection of text properties that you call within your script and apply > to some selected text. This is more or less what a character style is doing. This works but that is exactly what I try to avoid ? from my point of view it's no optimal solution (changes on the character style are not applied on the text) ? the build in html import handles character styles (e.g. the `strong` element) this way. I took a look at the 1.4.6 source code and found out which files contain the scripter code responsible for applying the styles and fonts to the text: * scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/cmobj.cpp * scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/cmdobj.h * scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/scriptplugin.cpp Inspired by `setStyle` and `setFont` I tried to build a function named `setCharStyle` but didn't succeed (character style is applied to the entire text frame instead to the selection or code didn't compile...). I'll put my changes on the code and error messages together and post it, maybe someone is able to locate my mistake. Where should I post it? At <forums.scribus.net> or the developer mailinglist? Thanks. Julius
