Looks better now! :) You could even reduce the type by half a point to help achieve a nicer typographic grey. See how it ends up. There is no "rule"... you have to try it to judge. Of course, changing the font will have a big effect on the final look. Luxi-sans Oblique is not embedded. Please see screenshot attached. I would personnaly not use Luxi but this is really a personnal choice. > > I find the margins to be very narrow. I wonder how this will come out >> from a regular printer.

But text is still very close to the edge of the paper. But this is a more a matter of taste (so very subjective) than anything else. Please note that your title "What is Scribus?" is flush to the edge with the blue band. A few points away would help imo.
