-The map composer is a feature that provides limited layout and printing
-capabilities. The composer allows you to add elements such as the QGIS map
-canvas, legend, scalebar, images, and text. You can size and position each item and
-adjust the properties to create your layout. The result can be printed,
-exported as an image, or exported to SVG.

+capabilities. It allows you to add elements such as the QGIS map canvas,

+and position each element and adjust the properties to create your layout. 
+The result can be printed (also to Postscript and PDF), exported as an image,

+because this functionality is not working with recent QT4 versions.} See a

 To use the map composer, first add the layers you
 want to print to QGIS. The layers should be rendered and symbolized to your
 liking prior to composing the map.
