I should have stated it with more nuance. Black text knockout was a real surprise for me. For some reasons I assumed it was going to be overprint as a default. This is more a human factor than a Scribus factor, we could say! Without assuming anything, I could have created an enriched black including the background color and this would have solved the case. To implement real trapping would be probably at least as complicated as > implementing a transparency flattener... Ok. Understand. We might consider keeping this basic then, and leave that to prepress, until we reach to a higher level. Being able to set a specific color to overprint is a beginning.
