Summary | 0011436: Change the default text line spacing. | ||||
Description | The dafault line spacing in Scribus is set as "fixed line spacing", and when we increase text size, text will look bad. Instead, if we change the line spacing to automatic, words looks better. So, in Scribus, the default line spacing should be "Automatic Linespacing" Screenshots: Fixed line spacing: see Default_Spacing.png Automatic line spacing: see Automatic_Line_Spacing.png | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Insert a new text frame write at least two full lines of text change the font to any ttf font increase the text (eg to 15) you will see the same as Default_Spacing.png Press F3 on your keyboard Inside Style manager double click on default paragraph style change spacing to automatic text will look better: Automatic_Line_Spacing.png | ||||

|
I'm not sure if this makes sense. If Scribus was a word processor, it would be natural, but Scribus isn't. Thus, fixed line spacing seems obvious to me. |
|
Obviously, but this bug could be annoying for any other purpose. |
|
Ops.. I used "bug" word. but this ain't a bug.. I should speak about enhancement :-) |
|
I have noticed that Scribus don't remember this setting on exit (changing the line space from fixed to automatic) and avery time that i start Scribus, i have to set it again. |
|
The described symptom occurs on Windows 7 and on Haiku. |
|
This a style setting (and one of the differences between a word processor and a DTP program). You have to create a paragraph style with either fixed, automatic or aligned-to-baseline linespacing: Edit > Styles. |
|
Ok, i've create a paragraph style, but is not saved: when i close and then restart Scribus, the syle that i create is no longer present in the Style Manager. |
|
If i also import the style from a document, at the next start new styles are lost. |
|
Ok: to achieve my needs i have saved a document as template, which include my styles. Would be nice/useful make user setting in the Style Manager, saved as default for every new empty document? |
|
Maybe as an option either in the Tools or the Typography tab ... |
