     Scribus is a Layout program for GNU/Linux®, similar to Adobe® 
PageMaker™, QuarkXPress™ or Adobe® InDesign™, except that it is 
published under the GNU GPL.

     Currently, it is still in its early stages of development, but 
rapidly maturing and very useable. Already, it has the ability to layout 
newsletters, create corporate stationery, small posters and other 
documents which need flexible layout and/or the ability to output to 
professional quality imagesetting equipment. You can do all the typical 
tasks like placing and rotating text and/or images on a page, specify 
manual kerning of type and much more.

     While the goals of the program are for ease of use and simple easy 
to understand tools, Scribus offers support for professional publishing 
features, such as CMYK color, easy PDF creation, Encapsulated Postscript 
import/export and creation of color separations.

     Graphic formats which can be placed include Ecapsulated Post Script 
(eps), Joint Photographic Experts Group (jpeg), Portable Network 
Graphics (png) and XPixMap(xpm)

     Printing is done via its own internal Postscript driver, since the 
driver supplied by Qt has limitations and no version has shown to be bug 
free. The internal driver fully supports Level 2 Postscript constructs 
and a limited subset of Level 3. This limitation is due to the lack of 
complete support for Level 3 constructs within some versions of 
ghostscript. The driver that ships with Scribus can embed fonts for 
printing and you can use and output high resolution EPS files.

     Other features include manual kerning of type and embedding fonts 
in PDF's. The file format is based on XML,an open source file format, a 
super set of HTML. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged 
documents, may be partially recovered with a simple text editor - 
sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs.

     When run from the K Desktop Enviroment 3.x, Drag and Drop is 
enabled. Thus,for example you can drag and drop from the desktop to the 
pasteboard easily. There is a drag and drop scrapbook, which can contain 
frequently used items including text blocks, pictures and custom shapes.

     Currently, the most recent stable version 1.0 of Scribus supports 
both True Type and Type1 Postscript fonts.
