It has just moved to version 1.3.4 but since this developers’ release is only currently available as source code, our review is based on version 1.3.3.9. The program is a free download and is cross-platform, with versions available for Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS X, OS/2 and Linux. Scribus is an open-source DTP application, started in 2001 and written by people who are clearly opinionated on subjects like typography and page design. There is a third contender, though, from a rather unusual source. This stems from a long-running reluctance to provide review copies and a long-running desire to produce an under-featured, over-priced heavyweight that still has trouble with tables. A few might add QuarkXpress to that, though Quark seems to have alienated virtually all journos over the years. If you want to contribute, please keep this in mind.To read most of the digital press, you’d think InDesign was the only big-league desktop publishing (DTP) application anyone took seriously. Moreover, we want to keep the layout, in true Wiki fashion, as simple and accessible as possible, because an overly complex layout contributed to the decline of the previous Wiki. We plan to transfer all articles that are still relevant to this new version, and in the process, correct various errors or update outmoded information. The purpose of this Wiki is to enable users to share their knowledge about Scribus, Desktop Publishing, printing and related topics with others, be it in the form of HOWTOs, tips or sample scripts, among others, as well as on using or enhancing Scribus.ĭue to unfixable technical issues with the original Wiki, we needed to relaunch it under this new address. Scribus is an Open Source DTP (Desktop Publishing) application for Linux and other flavors of Unix and Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X, as well as OS/2 and eComStation respectively, and Windows 2000 or later.
Welcome to the revamped version of the Scribus Wiki.
