Summary0008987: Word-wrapping CJK fonts malfunction
DescriptionHi I'm new to scribus, tried for only a few days. It is almost as good as any other commercial DTP software, but I find it a bit annoying that CJK support is not very well.

1. CJK input in text frames is not possible (related in 0013612)
2. when CJK text is pasted, fonts not supporting CJK characters is used by default, the program sometimes crash when editing such text frames (related to 0003173)
3. word wrapping would not work correctly with CJK paragraphs, treating the who thing as one word, especially when english words present in the paragraph
Steps To ReproduceJust open scribus and use CJK text.

I think the only issue left here is word-wrapping.

Could there be hyphenation issue here as well ?

This should be fixed in 1.5.x already, is there any possibility to get a test file?

Wow. It has been quite a few years since I gave up on scribus.

Yes, word-wrapping works in 1.5.1 on windows now. I still can't input CJK characters directly in the text box, but I see that there's another issue (0013612) for that. So this one should be closed?

Hey pariahsoc, can you provide some good test files we can use to test the new Complex Text Layouts that will be merged in 1.5.3 ?

I am not sure whether I can help, I am just a casual user who happens to use Chinese.

What would make a good test file?
