Hi Folks, Greetings to everyone who has joined the List, I'm glad that this List found so much Acceptance.
Instead of answering every Question of the last 2 Days in a seperate Mail I'm doing this in one go. Bryan J. Smith asked: >BTW, what distro is Scribus largely developed on? Debian? Scribus is developed on a SuSE 7.0 with several updates of QT, KDE and other things. When SuSE 8.2 comes out will up- grade to this because of the new GCC and XFree. Qwen <oc at webone.com.au> asked: >Is this where bugs should be reported? It's adviseable to report Bugs to the List, there is always a chance the get Help from others on the List. Martin Grohman reported this: >I like Scribus, but for a long time I don? know how to solve two >problems with Scribus under mdk 9. >First is that I cannot type national characters like When I type >nothing happens. But when I import text with these czech national >characters its displaying corectly. I have tried to export LANG=cs_CZ >... etc, but nothing has worked for me under mdk 9 untill now. That's surprisingly a Mandrake only problem, maybe it's corrected in Version 0.9.8, but I don't now why this problem arises. >The second problem is exporting PDF that can be corectly displayed only >in ggv. Acrobat 5 under linux or under windows ends displaying PDF >created in Scribus with error message: Bad font object or font >descriptor object. This is corrected in Version 0.9.8, Trolltech has changed something in QTextstream that causes incorrect behaviour with UNIX Lineends.

I can insert it with the "Insert Special" Dialog, but I can't type it in directly. >let's hope there is franz subsribed into this list... Of Course I'm subscribed to this List, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense. That's all for the moment now. I hope that the Discussion will be worthy for everyone. Once again, Greetings to all, Franz Schmid
