Subject: [campsite-dev] Open-source desktop publishing: Scribus
I just discovered this, I dont know if others know about it...
"Scribus is a desktop page layout program for GNU/Linux similar to
Corel Ventura(R), Quark Xpress(R), Adobe PageMaker(R) and InDesign(R).
Scribus can be used for many tasks; from brochure design to newspapers,
magazines, newsletters and posters to technical documentation. It has
sophisticated page layout features like precision placing and rotating
of text
and/or images on a page, manual kerning of type, bezier curves polygons,
precision placement of objects, layering with RGB and CMYK custom
colors. The
Scribus document file format is XML-based. Unlike proprietary binary file
formats, even damaged documents, can be recovered with a simple text editor.
Scribus supports professional DTP features, such as CMYK color and a
color management system to soft proof images for high quality color
printing,
flexible PDF creation options, Encapsulated PostScript import/export and
creation of 4 color separations, import of EPS/PS and SVG as native vector
graphics, Unicode text including right to left scripts such as Arabic and
Hebrew via freetype. Graphic formats which can be placed in Scribus as
images
include PDF, Encapsulated Post Script (eps), TIFF, JPEG, PNG and
XPixMap(xpm),
and any bitmap type supported by QT3.
Printing, PDF and SVG creation are done via custom driver libraries and
plug-ins, giving Scribus inventive features: the abilities to include
presentation effects with PDF output, fully scriptable interactive PDF
forms, SVG vector file output. The internal printer drivers fully support
Level 2 and Level 3/PDF 1.4 postscript features including transparency and
font embedding.
When run from KDE, Drag and Drop, for example from desktop to the canvas,
is enabled. There is easy to use drag and drop scrapbook for frequently
used items such as text blocks, pictures and custom shaped frames.

For what it's worth, we're looking at Scribus as part of the
SuperContentor project to create an end-to-end open source newsroom. But I
think it's being called Supermodel now...
