1064 | cbradney | 1 | This is Scribus Version 1.2.1 |
2 | |||
3 | The Scribus 1.2.x versions feature a complete rewrite of the rendering engine. |
||
4 | All rendering is done via libart and freetype2. |
||
388 | Franz | 5 | This requires that libart_lgpl and freetype2 are installed. |
3 | paul | 6 | |
1064 | cbradney | 7 | Scribus 1.2.1 also has a new OpenOffice.org Writer and Draw importer. This |
8 | requires libxml2, preferably version 2.6.x+. The OpenOffice.org Writer importer |
||
9 | will import styles from the OpenOffice.org doc and will create similar styles |
||
10 | within your Scribus document. |
||
11 | |||
12 | |||
238 | Franz | 13 | Additionally Scribus uses now a different way to find fonts, sadly this gives |
1064 | cbradney | 14 | some changes in the font names Scribus uses. To convert old documents follow |
15 | the procedure below: |
||
3 | paul | 16 | |
238 | Franz | 17 | 1) Create a document with the old Version of Scribus containing all your Fonts. |
68 | Franz | 18 | 2) Open the new Scribus and go to the Font Substitution List. |
1064 | cbradney | 19 | 3) Clear out all current substitutions. |
20 | 4) Open the Document created in 1) and substitute all the fonts with the |
||
21 | correct new fonts. |
||
68 | Franz | 22 | |
1064 | cbradney | 23 | When you now open old documents Scribus will convert all Font Names |
238 | Franz | 24 | automatically. |
25 | |||
3 | paul | 26 | For Changes please see the ChangeLog. |
27 | |||
1064 | cbradney | 28 | To use Scribus in your native language be sure that the environment variable |
29 | LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG, Qt locale, OR the command line option |
||
30 | of -l/--lang <lang> is set correctly. |
||
3 | paul | 31 | |
1064 | cbradney | 32 | The new EPS/PS import feature in 1.2.x uses advanced features of Ghostscript. |
33 | We recommend ALL users update to the newest version of Ghostscript available |
||
34 | for your distro. There are detailed hints on docs.scribus.net for installing |
||
35 | GS 8.x in parallel to the GS installed by your distro. |
||
302 | Franz | 36 | |
1064 | cbradney | 37 | Activating Color Management *requires* installation of CMYK and RGB ICC |
38 | profiles. Please see the included help files and http://docs.scribus.net for |
||
39 | details. |
||

238 | Franz | 41 | Other notes/known issues at the time of release: |
42 | |||
43 | There is a bug in font outline handling for some fonts in the freetype |
||
44 | libraries. It's being worked on upstream. Don't file a bug report. Instead |
||
388 | Franz | 45 | change the font used if you need the outlines. This is not a Scribus bug. |
46 | Some testing has shown that this bug is not present in freetype 2.1.9, but |
||
47 | we counsel caution trying to upgrade freetype2. Upgrading freetype2 on some |
||
48 | distros can be quite difficult. |
||
238 | Franz | 49 | |
388 | Franz | 50 | |
302 | Franz | 51 | For Debian Users: |
238 | Franz | 52 | |
53 | If Scribus does not start while complaining about the absence of |
||
54 | PostScript fonts please install either xfonts-scalable or gsfonts-x11. |
||
55 | They are in the "Recommends" and will be installed by all sensible apt |
||
56 | front-ends. |
||
57 | |||
1064 | cbradney | 58 | For SuSE 9.x Users: |
238 | Franz | 59 | |
1064 | cbradney | 60 | - The littlecms libs 1.10, which shipped with 9.0 does not offer complete |
61 | support for all the the latest CMS features in Scribus 1.2. There are updated |
||
62 | SuSE 9.x RPM's available on the Scribus.net site. We also recommend using the |
||
63 | latest version of lcms. |
||
238 | Franz | 64 | |
1064 | cbradney | 65 | - If you are using Qt 3.3.x, please ensure you are using the latest Qt 3.3.2-2+ |
66 | rpms. The -2+ versions have an important fix for drag and drop in Scribus. |
||
238 | Franz | 67 | |
1064 | cbradney | 68 | - To enable direct CUPS support which recommend, make sure both cups-devel and |
69 | openssl-devel are installed. Suse enables ssl support in CUPS. |
||
238 | Franz | 70 | |
1064 | cbradney | 71 | For Fedora/RH using Qt 3.3.2-6+ has the same fixes. |
72 | |||
73 | Many other hints and info are on the www.scribus.net and docs.scribus.net |
||
74 | sites. Full compile, install and FAQ's are available there. |
||
75 | |||
76 | There is a lively on-line community, both on IRC @ #scribus on irc.freenode.net |
||
77 | and the mailing list. Mailing list info can be found at: |
