Description :
Scribus brings award-winning professional DTP to Linux and *nix desktops with a combination
of \"press-ready\" output and new approaches to page layout.
Since its humble beginning in the spring of 2001, Scribus has rapidly developed into one of
the premier desktop applications for Linux. Called by Newsforge, \"..one of the killer
applications for Linux\", Scribus 1.2 brings new power and versatile tools for desktop
publishing. New features like separation previews, cross-platform python scripting, advanced
PDF 1.4 support are just some of the hundreds of improvements large and small in Scribus 1.2.
Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing
features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.
Scribus was the first DTP application on the planet to directly support PDF/X-3 output, a
rigorous ISO standard. Scribus did so by almost a year. Other features include PDF Import,
EPS import/export, Unicode text including right to left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew.
Scribus also has unexpected touches such as: useful vector drawing tools, SVG import/export
and support for OpenType Fonts. The Scribus file format is XML based; open and completely
documented. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents, can be recovered
with a simple text editor - sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs.
There is an easy to use drag and drop scrapbook. Scribus has been translated into more than
24 languages and more are coming in the future. The Scribus team prides itself on excellent
end user support with a lively IRC channel and friendly mailing list.
