I'd like to use it for booklets. Does it render text correctly? What are its main issues in this application?
If you mean is it an Indesign alternative then it's not.
>>462616I've seen smaller agencies work with Corel Draw to make booklets and shouldn't Inkscape have a similar functionality?
>>462617Affinity suite is free now and has a publishing tab.

>>462615it works but you can never import files from another program without it messing up text format and other things.and exported pdf turns out shit all the time. have to find the one single export setting that kinda works. at least in old versions.
>>462623>it works but you can never import files from another program without it messing up text format and other things.Scribus has the exact same problem but it's even worse because their devs just say that all other programs are doing formatting wrong and they do it the RIGHT way completely ignoring the fact that their shit program literally eats parts of the imported data without telling the author about it. So in the end you end up with missing parts.

>>462623My PDFs turn out great but I'm not a pro. I had one instance when I had a problem when I wrapped text around a circle and exported to PDF, it drew a thin circle at the base of the text, which I fixed by combining the text and the original circle (a target logo) into the same object, or something, or a bitmap maybe.>>462615It does render text correctly yes. But that's a weird question.
>>462615It renders text as it shows. Maybe you may want to fiddle with kerning, but if it's off enough to bother you, you were probably going to complain about it.I use it for creating TTRPG character sheets, trifolded A4 handouts and libreoffice backgrounds and it'0s my goto tool to do so. I know how to use it and it does what I want, the rest is about knowing what and doing it.It doesn't mess up things and once you get the hang of it, you can import pages from PDFs and dismember it for the juicy parts.
Now that Affinity is free is there any point to this.
>>462995It's """"""""free""""""""" because they make more money with your data than selling it to you. You can look that shit up, it's insane how many connections the application has running at all times.
>>463003show it
>>462615There's no reason to use memescape and Gimp now that affinity is free.Either use ps or affinity.
>>462616I remember when indesign could only do one page at a time and you had to buy an external plug-in to render tables, and nobody had written one yet.It got popular because of cultists. Nothing more.
>>462615What exactly do you want to create?A poster or something with multiple pages?What should the final product be? Should it remain digital or be exported for print as PDF X-3?Inkscape is a vector program, so it should output all fonts as vectors for your final format.Also this >>463009
