Just checking to see how things are going?
The PDF's created by Scribus are perfect for pre-press and Scribus handles my installed fonts better than any of the other programs.
Let me know how the progress goes and if you have any problems.

Thanx for your concern! You've been a big help.

I'm currently trying to figure out QLyx and Scribus. These apps look like just what I need! I'll have to play around with scanners and voice recognition later on.

My wife is doing the interviews and copy, I have to wait for her to complete interviews to do transcriptions (hence voice recog) and then wait for her copy (hence QLyx and Scribus, etc).

You can even run PageMaker or InDesign under Crossover Office (a modified version of WINE...) on Knoppix

An update on the bookbinding information, BookSurge, a company I use for 100% of my digital printing has now got hardcover books, these have dustjackets and gold foil lettering, their prices are really fair, check em out if you can.
www.booksurge.com
If you need a contact there I can pass along my rep's info.
Oh yeah, the KDE font control panel works 100% with Scribus, so just add fonts in KDE and boom you can use them in Scribus.

Thanx, I'll definitely have to take a look at your bindery!
