Dear Chris,

I will only answer your second question: Yes, you should upgrade to
Scribus 1.5.n.

We are using the 1.5 versions for several years for production, not just
for testing and we have never had crashes and never lost any work. There
are several new features you will like.

Full truth, presently I am still using Scribus 1.5.5 (shame on me) on my
main computer. I am doing something with it every week. And it is so
dependable and complete that I did not take time to get the 1.5.7. But
not because of Scribus but because of my crazy work-load.

In our case we love the new text engine that was introduced around 2016,
giving us much better handling of "exotic" glyphs like combining diacritics.


We are using what is available from the public download page, not those
bleeding edge nightly builds where you need to dig around to find them
or compile for yourself.

hth, greetings,

Martin
