		<title>Ranting in Finnish / Scribus-juttuja suomeksi</title>
		<description>I have not ranted a lot but lately the situation has been changing. I have started a new blog at http://tsoots.blogspot.com/ where my intention is to write articles, tutorials and news items in Finnish about free graphics applications.

		<title>Ode to Open Text Based Document Formats</title>

		<title>When a million does not equal a million</title>

		<title>A Real Linux Font Manager for Designers</title>
		<description>One of the things which is perceived as a stumbling block to using Linux as a designer's platform is the lack of font management tools. Most graphics professionals started or at some time worked on a Mac and often enough MacOS 9 or earlier.

So,  while font management is nowhere ...</description>
