And how have you found this out? There may be almost everything needed
for your needs, but you aren’t everybody.
Again, where is the high-speed printer mail-merge support?
Where is the Canadian address correction software? Is there even any US
address correction software?
Where are the Linux programs that support the advanced features of
OpenType, like InDesign and other Adobe program do? (Yes, I understand
that this is coming in Scribus. But it isn’t there yet, and I can’t
really expect it to be fully up to InDesign’s standards on its first
appearance in Scribus.) Are these ligatures and alternate glyphs in
fonts currently available in any program in Linux? I know that the
operating system itself purports to support them. But does, for example,
Artstream yet support them?
Others have different things they use in Windows, that they don’t yet
find conveniently available in Linux (or at all available in Linux), and
have stated so in this discussion. They use particular features of some
Windows programs in their businesses or hobbies, which they believe
aren't available under Linux.
Maybe we are all wrong.
But provide information about why we are wrong rather than a blanket
statement, unsupported, that you have found out that we are wrong.
Note: I am NOT in any way anti-Linux, rather the opposite. But it does
not do Linux any good to post things about it that aren’t true.
