Summary | 0016276: barcode doesn't show readable text | ||||

Unable to reproduce. Works here. |
|
i tested it after reading this forum thread: https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,3819.msg18119.html and i had the same problems as the to. |
|
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? |
|
how can i test if it is a library issue? |
|
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? |
|
>> does it require some third party stuff? Ghostscript for sure... |
|
i have ghostscript 9.27 |
|
to be sure. do you see the readable text here? (since i'm not sure what the readable text should be...) |
|
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… |
