Hi all,

I'm going to use Scribus for my first typesetting/bookbinding
project. I feel like the easiest way to get a feel for working with
imposition will be to work with standard A4, then use some command-
line utils to do the imposition.

What font size should I work with so that the final result--let's say
a 4-page imposition--is close to standard, i.e., 12pt?

And what margins should I use so that nothing gets swallowed when I
arrange and sew the signatures?

Thanks and

all best,
Derek
