 Thanks for the tip will try it out. Scribus is a sort of Illustrator?

 First of all, don't use the GIMP for creating a brochure. Use a page
 layout application. Scribus will do just nicely.
 
 The proper tool for the job will make your life much easier. Just use
 GIMP for images NOT layout.
---end quoted text---

No, Scribus is more like PageMaker, an earlier Adobe Page Layout
Application before they introduced us to InDesign.

The open source eqivalent to Illustrator is Inkspot.

Anyway like anything; you gotta use the right tool, if one wants good
results. ;)

I think you mean 'Inkscape' here, no?

[Gimp-user] XCF to PDF problems with font

2013-07-24 Thread alex_g
Hi there, hope somebody can help me. Am making a brochure, use the pre-set A5
print size. All great, but when converting the XCF file to PDF the fonts are not
represented correct and are drastically reduced in size.

I tried the flattening option, but that takes a lot of resolution/sharpness out
of the file and makes it less fit for printing... Can anybody help??

Thanks!
alex
