All, In reply to Mathijs question on clean cut text (AND operation), you will find a step by step tutorial there: http://www.market-square.info/tutorials/cleancut_tutorial.pdf which I hope will prove useful.

The logo itself should not be printed! I haven't actually tried this, so I'm not 100% sure how well it will work, but how about: 1. Saving the white silhouette of the logo (with a nice smooth edge) as a PNG with transparent background (assuming you have the logo as a picture on a background, you can do this in GIMP) 2. Putting the PNG in a picture box with a transparent background 3. Putting the box over the box with the text (*without* making the text wrap around the box). This way you can still change the text, move the logo around, etc. I remember that PNGs with transparency are definitely transparent when you put them over other pictures; I can't remember if I ever tried putting them over text. -- ~ Registered Linux User #334504 ~ "Curiously deep, the slumber of crimson thoughts: While breathless, in stodgy viridian Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 17:19:49 +0200 From: "Matthijs Zwinderman" Subject: Re: [Scribus] AND operation To: scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Thanks everybody! I'm trying your methods right now! The problem is, however, that scribus starts to crash when I try them... Only 1 alinea Ipsum Lorem and my logo is enough! Adrianna, I don't think I know what you mean? It sounds very promising, but if I do that, won't the logo also be visible outside the letters? (it should look like the 'green' in example 4 here: www.market-square.info/pages/pdf_design.htm (tnx cedric) And Andreas, where can I get that version (the 1.3.4cvs-version)?

Download from here: http://www.cairographics.org/download You should probably download from git since both cairo & Scribus are developing at a fast pace in this area. Then configure Scribus as "make -f Makefile.cvs; ./configure --with-cairo ..." or "cmake -DWANT_CAIRO=1" (depending on what build system you want to use) and build. This is only true for Linux/Unix though. Cairo isn't supported for Scribus/Aqua yet and for Scribus/Win32 you'd have to wait till the first snapshot is available. /Andreas P.S.

This is the bug: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1908 (Typing ^o in text frame doesn't make ?) If somebody have any idea, it's really a problem for me, cause I spend many time typing the text in text frames, and during an emergancy (I mean when I finish an issue) it's really boring. I think it's beacuse I have QT 3.5 (on other computers with Qt 3.4, there's not that problem): is there a way to come back to Qt 3.4?

IMHO there are enough ways to enter special characters with the keyboard: *ISO 14755 with F12+hexcode: F12 + f + 4 (+spaces) gives ? *keyboard layouts with dead keys enabled: ^ + o gives ? *using the compose key. e.g. hold Compose and type o + ^ Regards, Helge ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 11:16:21 -0400 From: Gregory Pittman Subject: Re: [Scribus] Key bug To: scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de Message-ID: <448AE245.5020301 at iglou.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Helge Hielscher wrote: > IMHO there are enough ways to enter special characters with > the keyboard: > *ISO 14755 with F12+hexcode: F12 + f + 4 (+spaces) gives ? > I don't think hexcodes will ever be a useful solution -- too many to remember. > *keyboard layouts with dead keys enabled: ^ + o gives ? > I tried deadkeys for a while, but if you're not using accented characters much, it gets annoying to double type the dead key to get its original character. > *using the compose key. e.g. hold Compose and type o + ^ > I don't even know what a compose key is... When I used Amigas years ago, they had a system that worked like the deadkey but didn't involve losing a printable character to do it.

Wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key It is quite easy to define a compose key (if your distribution has not set up a key for you). You don't need to change your x.org config file. You can change the keys with the setxkbmap tool or a GUI frontend like the KDE Keyboard Tool kxkb: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/kxkb/xkboptions-config.html > When I used Amigas years ago, they had a system that worked like the > deadkey but didn't involve losing a printable character to do it.
