[KLUG Members] Scribus, Hindi and other issues

[Komal]

Dear all,

We have just started working with Scribus. But the good news is that we 
are working in Hindi. Though typing in Hindi is not possible in Scribus 
but open-office formatted document can be imported to Scribus. It is a 
great achievement. I think it is a revolution in the context of Linux 
publication design.

We are still facing few problem. One is typing Hindi directly in 
Scribus, second, it crashes sometime. But these problems we are handling 
  quite well. But another problem is printing. I mean offset printing. 
Scribus can be used very much for publication [for which it is designed] 
but it means either pinters should have scribus, that I atleast don't 
expect right now, another option is we can produce Post Script file in 
Scribus. It looks easy but is not. Printers use Scitex machines for 
positive output from the PSEPS files. So we need to produce PS/EPS files 
for Scitex machines as we do in QuarkXpress or PageMaker etc.

If we can find any solution for this Scitex PS driver it will further 
liberate publication design from propreitary model dependecy.

Please some one think of a solution or may be write a driver.

Regards,

Komal
