I tested again on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 and 20.10 with system poppler and ghostscript. ISBN code works too on these systems.

seems to work here too.

could it be related to the libraries included in the macos package?

i guess that craig could tell us if he thinks that there is a chance that it is that way......

I don't see an issue pre packaging. Try a new dmg I uploaded last night. I tested it on another machine and works fine.

with last night build (r24102) it's still the same – no readable text.
it is not only the ISBN code. the problem comes with all the barcode variants wich support some readable text.

Hmmm, by any chance, do you have barcode text color set to white or something like that?

no, the text color is set to 'black'. that was the first thing i checked. as a second check i ungrouped the inserted barcode, and there was nothing else than the lines and the placeholder for the white space.
i don't know what 'libbarcodegenerator.so' really does, as the code is not in a readable format. does it require some third party stuff?

Ghostscript for sure...

here is what scribus1.5.6_r24102 generates on my macOS 10.14.6:
the upper one is without 'readable text'.
the lower one should show the 'readable text'. but the only difference is the free space to display the numbers…

just an update:
in scribus 1.5.8 on macos 13.2.1 the bug is still there (no text displayed…)
but with scribus 1.7.0.svn_r25306 it works well. (with or without text – as selected…)

my most recent version of 1.5.9 is r25074 from april 2022. with this version it still doesn't display the text. but if new versions work, this bug can be closed.

@utnik. How are you getting your versions? Why run such an old version? That's almost a year old

hi craig
i don't compile myself and r25074 is the most recent version for macOS in sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-svn/1.5.9.svn - even if it's almost a year old…

thanks for uploading!
with this version (1.5.9.svn-r25372) the barcode shows the text as expected.
