Re: Printing Issues Remain

If printing from a PDF still gives you issues this means one thing: The problem is not TextMaker. I would suggest you to talk to the folks at fedora or check if there is another driver for your printer.

Re: Customer support is working?

Traditionally this is how it works: You set scaling in KDE. KDE, itself, does not do scaling, what it does is it goes and set the scaling for QT and GTK apps. And then consider each toolkit has its way of doing scaling. GTK, for instance, until very recently, was unable to do fractional scaling. QT ...

Re: Customer support is working?

Because all the applications do you mention use Qt (Kate, Telegram) or GTK (Firefox, darktable). Softmaker Office do not use one of those toolkits, and even so, GTK is famous for being awful at stalling. Only recently they addressed some of the shortcomings of their scaling method. For the window po...

Re: Customer support is working?

About #1: There isn't any linux applications that scale as you want them too. No application is truly 4k aware. You may ask yourself: Why does KDE Apps remember if they are 4k or not? Because KDE saves a file that says foy screen X, morel Y do Z. If you here to connect a different screen that is not...

Re: How to Fix Awkward Spaces in Justified Text?

Indeed, this is true. Even big publishers have been doing this since a few years back. They do not care any more about presenting a nice layout. Not even they pretend to care of publishing well written books, all they care about is selling, whatever it is. It is quite sad, still this is no excuse. I...

Re: How to Fix Awkward Spaces in Justified Text?

TextMaker is a word processor not a DTP program. You can, as Woody44 said, make it work on TextMaker. He's response is correct however keep in mind that the results will always be amateurish because TM is not the right tool for the job. Neither is LibreOffice or MS Word. One can always tell when a b...

Re: Inconsistency when creating a new document (between Word, TextMaker and Writer)

TextMaker uses the 1.0 ODT specification. MS Word and LibreOffice uses the newer 1.3 version where changes were introduced. TM's implementation of the ODT format isn't perfect and there have been plenty of minor issues I have reported over the years, including the need up update to the latest specif...

Re: Auto Full stop

If you are using a virtual keyboard, this is probably the one doing the change. Check the settings of whatever keyboard you use, just to make sure. With some there is an option to prevent the keyboard ofdoign this, with other you need to turn off autocorrect.

Re: Convert to PowerPoint

To be honest, what you ask makes little sense. The whole idea with PDF was to be an universal, standardized portable format (PDF stands for Portable Document Format) meaning *everything* required for the document to be displayed as it was intended to is in the file itself. It was envisioned and desi...

Re: Presales question: Softmaker resolution on KDE 6 wayland - Arch

Scaling on Wayland is unreliable at best. SMO offers its own scaling setting. Look for it under Options => Appearance => User interface size

Re: Missing Video Codecs

Most, if not all, Desktops relies on gstreamer this days so is a "given", I suppose.

Now what is uncommon this days is the use of wmv. To be honest I would simply convert the video to a more standard/better supported file format and be done with it.

Re: Possible Bug with “(floating)” Character Styles

Ok. I think I understand what the problem is. You applied a character style: math to "here" and then subscript to "h" hoping that h would inherit the character style of math. As far as I know is not possible to ¿have two character styles applied to the same character. The manual ...

Re: DeepSeek integration

I agree with you Michael. Even the argument about Netscape vs IE seems like it was done with AI. Those of us who lived the Browser wars know better than to fall for that over-simplified and out of context comparison.

Re: Missing Video Codecs

You do not have the wmv codec installed. The error is right there in what you share. Check you have libavcodec and gstreamer good, band and ugly codecs installed. This should solve the issue.

VLC can play this file because it has its own video codecs. Same foes for mpv.

Re: Multilingual documents

Use character styles for this.

Creat a character style called "French", for instance. Set the dictionary to french, then you can add a keybinding for this style. Also make sure you add a keybinding in normal so you can return to the default language too.
