Here is something I tried just now, that worked surprisingly well. I used Kwrite, and imported a python file. In Kwrite, I have an option to Export as HTML, which I did. I then loaded into firefox, and "printed" as a PS file. I could then in Scribus import the PS file, and all the syntax highlighting was intact. Checking at high zoom, the resolution of characters was excellent. I noted that I could have sent from firefox as a PDF file, which should also work. I would add that I tried importing the HTML to Scribus into a text frame, and the highlighting was lost. If you look at the HTML file in a text editor, you will see that the various colors used should be easily editable with Find/Replace. Greg
