Scribus on Windows

Scribus on Windows - Read Me

What is different about Scribus ?

First, Scribus was developed first and foremost on Linux and Unix machines, so sometimes the way things work are not always the 'windows way', but a more OS neutral way. Scribus also is natively ported to MacOSX and the behavior changes are mostly in the way the menus work. Second, a great deal of time and effort has been put into Scribus to generate very high quality commercial grade PDF. Provided you follow the recommended workflow in the documentation, you should have few issues with commercial printing.

Hardware/Software Requirements:

For Windows 2000 Only - The GDI+ library from http://www.microsoft.com. Unfortunately, as Scribus is an open source application under the GNU GPL, we cannot include this file within the installer. Windows XP includes this library already.

Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP - Windows 98 and ME have not been tested and are not supported. Any and all bug reports relating to Windows 9X will be closed quickly.

256 Mb or more system memory - the more the better.

Pentium III or better - 750MHz or better

Recommended:

XP Themes Disabled - Use the "Windows Classic" theme is very strongly recommended on lower end systems.
