<div>Aha! It appears that Linux versions differ from Windoze versions. Yes I recognize the "T|" icon. On my Scribus it only appears on</div>
<div>a drop down menu. I'll update my Windoze version of 1.5.3 to see what that shows on the icon bar.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I write for a general audience. I withdrew my 2009 pdf book on using Scribus for book covers because a customer complained</div>
<div>about the diference between my illos and what he saw on his screen. I hope the look and feel of e.g. 1.5.3 is close to what we will see on 1.6.0.<br />
