Caveats

  • Since CUPS hasn't been ported to Haiku yet, you can't print directly from Scribus. You can, however, export a PDF and print from BePDF or DocumentViewer.
  • The Scripter doesn't work yet, because Python Tkinter is not available for Haiku.
  • Hunspell still needs to be ported to Haiku, so spellchecking won't work..
