I have to set up templates for scientific posters, the originals where provided for CorelDraw and OO. There are a few conventions that have to be fulfilled e.g. font sizes. So I take the eps-export of a CorlDraw file and put it in the background of my scribus file then just put text boxes and background color fields where they have to be. No big thing. Any text block in the originating template is written like "Normal text here (black, Arial Regular, 32pt)", "Headline here, (50% black, Arial Bold, 40pt) and so on, so I have quite a good comparism of how font size should be and how Scribus' font size has to be set up to match the required size. I also did the same thing in Illustrator, sizes there exactly matched the specifications. And to be sure to exclude any Xorg-specific stuff I tried it with Scribus in Windows, same result: What is 32pt in other applications is 24.5 pt in Scribus (63.4 pt for 80 pt and so on) I'm using Scribus-Version 1.3.5.1 in SUSE 11.2 TIA!
