minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•1 year agoIf I still did book design, it’d be InDesign unfortunately; Adobe is the devil, but I haven’t seen a text layout program that compares.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-21 year agoNot FOSS, but in terms of alternatives for Adobe, I have been liking Affinity so far. Haven’t used Publisher much though.
