But I ran into some downsides, which are probably not that difficult to improve. So that’s why I subscribed to your mailing list. I don’t want to complain and get angry about problems with free software and then dismiss it; instead, I thought it would be more productive to contribute to the development, as I see a lot of potential in Scribus.

Hi Tobias,

I'm not seeing this at all. Even looking at 6pt text displayed at 500% magnification, I get no significant pixelization. (My monitor is 1600x900 resolution) It must be something about your computer or its function.
