As I continue to fiddle around with Scribus on various projects, a feature that occurs to me would be very useful would be some kind of auto-sizing of text boxes.
I would envision these possible capabilities: 1. Making a text box of a certain size, then having Scribus adjust the font size so that the text fits inside the box. 2. Making a text box, locking the width (or height) and font size, then having Scribus adjust the height (or width) to fit in the text. 3. Extension of No.2 -- if text will not fit for a given page size, then a new page and/or text box is created using the locked parameters of the first box (size, font size, XY coordinates of the upper left corner). I realize this is a lot easier to envision than code for, but I find myself doing a lot of manual tweaking of the various parameters just to accomplish this, especially when I want to draw a border line and have a nice balanced border around the text.
