	Introducing Scribus \| Linux Journal
		Scribus cleverly works around some of the potential limitations of Linux and UNIX as DTP platforms, by the extensive and flexible use of PDF as an output file format and to a lesser extent, PDF import.
		Scribus is most definitely not a word processor; it belongs to the family of applications known as page layout programs.
		Scribus is necessarily quite fussy about font paths and has a lot of code to sniff out the exact capabilities of your installed fonts.

	Scribus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scribus is a free, open source desktop publishing (DTP) application.

	Forwarding Address: OS X: Scribus
		Scribus doesn't do it all by any means, and what it does it doesn't always do the way I'd like.
		I think the Scribus team has done an incredible job in bringing this app from nothing to a very robust tool in just a few years, and they are also extremely helpful, supportive, and responsive.
		I doubt Scribus could support Apple Events at this point, because it doesn't build natively on OS X. It's a Qt application, so it should build, but there are a lot of X11 dependencies in the code (I've tried and tried to get it to build).

		Scribus outputs the end result to PDF, a format that any decent printers should be happy with.

	LinuxDevCenter.com -- Scribus: Open Source Desktop Publishing
		For now, Scribus runs directly on Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X (thanks to Fink), but an experimental port with KDE-Cygwin on Windows 2000 is in testing.
		Fortunately for the Scribus team members, some of their most significant advancements came from the maturing of the outside libraries they incorporated into their own work.
		For versions of Scribus beyond 1.2, the developers' first priority is to perform code cleanup and further optimization.

	Linux.com \| Desktop publishing with Writer and Scribus
		Scribus replaces spaces in the styles' names with _20_, so you might want to edit the styles' names before import to avoid confusion.
		Scribus allows you to edit text directly in the text frame, but it also includes a so-called Story Editor, which is sort of a bare-bones word processor.
		Scribus may feel like uncharted territory for many Writer users, but it's pretty easy to come to grips with, and many Writer skills can be translated to Scribus.

		Scribus supports PDF 1.4 and the PDF/X-3 standard, and allows you to use advanced features like PDF Annotations, PDF Forms, and JavaScript.
		Scribus interface often feels awkward (especially for style application) and the text/character positionning options are very poor.
		As for Adobe and Quark and other very expensive proprietary page layout apps, they have some features that Scribus lacks for now, but Scribus is under very heavy development, adding features at a fast rate, and has some features and abilities that the proprietary/expensive solutions don't have yet or won't have at all.

		a portable version of an open source page maker called Scribus, which is much like Adobe Pagemaker, which can help create professional looking documents, newsletters, magazines, etc. With Portable Scribus, you can put it on your USB drive, and plug it in to any computer, and leave not trace behind when you're done.
		I then came across someone else's attempt at a portable Scribus, called XScribus, is what I used as the bases for my Scribus launcher code.
		Scribus was originally developed for Linux, inwhich there was no such thing as a registry that resembles the Windows registry.

	Designorati : A Look At Scribus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Scribus provides for printing, touts PDF output (including PDF/X, for which claim is made that they were the first widely available layout application to do so), CMYK and RGB color models, and an amount of bells and whistles that ought to satisfy most DTP customers.
		Support for Scribus is typical of the sort you’ll find with other well-known FOSS software such as OpenOffice.org, for example: the team handles bug reports on a cooperative basis, and Scribus supports fora and a wiki for documentation and advice.
		Since my overview of Scribus was focused on the technical, I couldn’t put it in that one reason I think that Scribus may well make it over the long term is because of the positive, affirmative engagement that Scribus team has about complaints and gripes I’ve experienced to date.

	Interview with Scribus Team (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		We are hoping a lot of people can now switch to Linux using Scribus for their DTP work, or finally just achieve great results with a DTP program rather than trying to achieve these kind of results with a wordprocessor.
		Scribus does very very well on that mark, in some cases more capable than commercial DTP apps.
		However, I found Scribus to be really slow, especially when moving frames or doing other "basic" activities that involved the main canvas being redrawn.

		Scribus is free and has slightly lower raw power requirements than InDesign, but using X11 negates any speed benefits.
