Scribus

It could be very good however, it does not run in Mac Monterey. Then I will review my rate once I can download an update. Ok, I tried now version 1.5.6, and now is working under Monterey. The package seems a very well done software, I have not experienced it yet but, at first glance, it would be more than appropriate for any type of publication.

I've been managing the project, even though the design is lagging behind other projects. This meets the goal you want to achieve. I would be interested to know if you have any repository to be able to review the code. Beforehand thank you very much. And good work!

Easy, effective and good results in Arabic.

Scribus is a great tool however, the critical issue is the need of a far more updated version in order to really complete with Adobe InDesign. Unfortunately I know many graphic designers that are married with InDesing for reasons that I would never be able to judge, as InDesing is a real unmatched beast when it comes to Desktop Publishing, and they would never be able to leave Windows or Mac OS in order to get trapped in Linux having Scribus as their only option to produce a "professional" brochure or magazine etc... As I said, the tool is great but it lacks many features that are supposed to come included in newer versions but hey .. we have been waiting for ages already, it seems quite urgent as the rest of the graphic applications (GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, Blender and even video editing software seems to be evolving a bit faster than DTP .. Good luck and best regards to all the developers of Scribus, I am confident on the next version will not leave us down !

Very good results when you take the time to master the tool. This is obviously different and more complex than a word processor, but the documents are very nice at the end. Used with graphics from gimp.
