In Scribus, as far as I know, for each object you can choose to overprint or knockout. http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Pre-Press#Overprinting
So it's fully possible to overprint small text even it has been converted to outlines. As for the fill rules, isn't that a property of the RIP? Do all RIPs behave the same? On the other hand, as far as I understand outlines in Scribus are stored as a "custom font" (a type 3 font if I recall correct). This should mean that the RIP will handle it as text, right? /Peter 2014-06-11 13:57 GMT+02:00 William Adams <will.adams at frycomm.com>: > On Jun 11, 2014, at 1:29 AM, Peter Nermander wrote: > > > When printing, it does not matter whether text is text or graphics, in > > printed form they look the same. > > That's a bit disingenuous. > > When printing, there are at least two instances were text is handled > differently than graphics: > > - small black text is typically set to overprint, small coloured text > will often be dis-allowed if it is on too many plates > - the fill rules for text are only fill if the center of a pixel is w/in > the path, while for graphics it's if any portion of the pixel falls w/in > the path > > William > > -- > William Adams > senior graphic designer > Fry Communications > Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. > > > ___ > Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net > Edit your options or unsubscribe: > http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus > See also: > http://wiki.scribus.net > http://forums.scribus.net > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
