Hello Scribus community, Are there any plans to provide a globally optimizing line break algorithm (the Plass/Knuth algorithm, as used in Tex) for Scribus? I think this algorithm is one of the greatest breakthroughs in high quality typesetting and I really can't understand, why this brilliant approach is literally ignored by nearly all typesetting computer programs. (In fact, TeX and - with a delay of over 20 years - InDesign are the only major programs that use it, AFAIK.)
In order to change this a little bit, I'd love to implement this algorithm for Scribus (or contribute to an implementation). However, as a scribus newbie I can't estimate yet, if I'll have enough time for this. But I still have started to browse the sources. So far, I couldn't find the place where line breaking is done. Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks and bye, Florian -- Florian Arnold florian_arnold at gmx.de
