I just discoverd Scribus. Desktop publishing for Linux.
It is a great program. Similar to MS Publisher.
Description: a free software desktop publishing program
Scribus is a free software layout program for GNU/Linux similar to a
couple of proprietary programs from Adobe and Quark.
.
Unlike other programs Scribus uses only Type1 fonts of the X-Server.
Therefore there is no fiddling around with installing extra fonts. For
this reason the number of fonts is a little bit limited, but you can be
sure that your monitor shows exactly the same as the printed output is.
.
Documentation for this package is available in either French, German or
English. Please choose your appropriate scribus-doc-XX documentation package.
