I am a new user of Scribus Aqua 1.3.3.2-2 for Mac (System 10.3.9), and am having trouble with a few things for which I request some help. The documentation seems to be for a different version.
1. Scribus will not import EPS or PDF into a file. The only file I've been able to get it to import into a graphics box is JPEG. As best I can tell, Ghostscript is installed correctly and is correctly pointed to in External Tools." Nevertheless, here are the contents of my folders: :~/Library/Frameworks] michaelm% ls Fontconfig2.framework libjpeg.framework printafm.1 Freetype.framework liblcms.framework ps2ascii.1 Ghostscript.framework libpng.framework ps2epsi.1 Qt.framework libtiff.framework ps2pdf.1 eps2eps.1 pdf2dsc.1 ps2pdfwr.1 font2c.1 pdf2ps.1 ps2ps.1 gdevdsp.h pdfopt.1 wftopfa.1 libart.framework pf2afm.1 libexpat.framework pfbtopfa.1 and . . . ~/Library/Frameworks/Ghostscript.framework] michaelm% ls Ghostscript Resources bin man Headers Versions doc and . . . Computer:Frameworks/Ghostscript.framework/bin] michaelm% ls gs_init.ps gsc As far as I know, I have Scribus pointed to Ghostscript properly in the preferences (External Tools): /Users/michaelm/Library/Frameworks/Ghostscript.framework/Versions/8.54/ bin/gsc 2. I have not been able to get columns to work. I found the columns setting in Page/Manage Guides, but the settings I have entered have been ignored whether I click on Update or OK. 3. Clicking on Style/Font results in nothing to click on. I can select fonts from the StoryEditor, but even then, not all the fonts in my system are made available. 4. At one point, Scribus griped that it could not find GIMP. A search of GIMP on my system turns up 18 items. So, not being a programmer, I do not know which to point Scribus to. 5. I have not been able to find where to adjust kerning. I see it in the documentation, but it doesn't seem to be found in the same location in the version of Scribus I have. Thank you ahead of time for any help provided. Michael -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
