it seems to me that paying for a plug in is absolutely contrary to the G P L philosophy and what should be this project's goals. Nevertheless, I do appreciate that printers are frantic to get accurate color (which is quite a problem). Bart Alberti

I have cygwin and I got ./configure to go as far as 'freetype' In fact the cgywin repository HAS said freetype and even fontconfig. It has, too, an rpm facility. I am not sure about qt3 though. I guess I could compile that under cygwin. Before I frustrate myself completely does anyone have any a

FYI the March 2004 LINUX JOURNAL has two interesting pieces on xml formats. It seems OO uses a 'zip' format which is very interesting so the file is really an assembly of items separate as files but which coalesce to form the whole. Ruby can be used to manipulate OO docs, by extension, scribus.

[Scribus] frame switching

i switch between frames through the story editor: save and exit. But the "properties' box which shows which box one has (zero, one...) does NOT (or does it?) have any drop down so you switch. I mean just clicking into another box does NOT switch (does it?). By the way the average user thinks the

Ok the story editor selects the text frame. That is OK by me. Still, you could have a drop box there enumerating the existing frames and button click --> make active that one. Then palette updates to show the properties of that frame. I do not like mere clicking in a space; it upsets things. Word

Luckily SuSE posts its own qt upgrades. do rpm -Uvh This make me happy. Nevertheless, otherwise, there are programs which turn tar balls INTO source rpms. xxx.yyy.src.rpm-i386. one does 'rpm --build '. I do not know how to use them ; I need not. (:-} Also one can set the install prefix. There is
