Although the Random capitalisation of this Description is quaint in its Own way, may I suggest the Following as more in keeping with Modern English? =) Scribus is a DTP (Desktop Publishing) application in the tradtion of Xpress, Pagemaker or similar. At the moment it is still in the early stages of development, but fairly usable. You can do all the important things, such as embedding pictures, placing text on a page and much more. Printing is done via the application's own Postscript driver, since the driver supplied by Qt has too many limitations and each version of it has its own faults. The driver that ships with Scribus can embed fonts for printing and can use EPS images at high quality. At the moment Scribus supports only Type1 (Postscript) and TrueType fonts. -- adamw
