Using the Help Browser

The Help browser included with Scribus, has some features which are different from a regular web browser:

About Scribus / About Scripter / About Hyphenator

Displays version info about Scribus, the authors and translators. The arrow in the picture below indicates the build version and installed libraries when Scribus was compiled. Please send these details, along with your distro version when reporting bugs or installation problems to either the scribus mailing list or to the developers. Note: If you are using a cvs version of Scribus, please also include the build date, as well

The F-C-C-T equates to F=Freetype C=CUPS C=littlecms T=TIFF support.

Help - About Showing the Build Version and Installed Libraries

About Qt

Displays the version information about the Qt libraries. Scribus currently needs to have a version greater than 3.0.5+. (3.1.2+ recommended) You should check to make sure not only the run time libraries, but that also the Qt-devel is installed. If you are compiling Qt, you must have threading compiled in as an option or Scribus will not compile.

Tool-Tips

Allows you to switch Tool-Tips on or off. . Since 0.8+ all tools and icons have corresponding tool tips.
