1.1 What is Scribus?

Scribus is a DTP-Program in the tradition of Xpress, Pagemaker or similar. In the moment it is still in his early Stages of Development, but fairly useable. You can do all the important things like embedding Pictures, placing Text on a Page and much more.

Printing is done via an own Postscript-Driver, since the Driver supplied by Qt has too many Limitations and every Version of it has its own Faults. The Driver that ships with Scribus can embed Fonts for Printing and you can use EPS-Pictures at high Quality.

In the moment Scribus supports only Type1 (Postscript) - Fonts, but Support for TrueType is planned.
