I installed Scribus 1.1.6 from the fedora.us RPM (the scribus.net RPM gave the relocation/symbol not found error) and the font-preview RPM from scribus.net.
The only Symbol font that appears available for use in Scribus is OpenSymbol, but the characters are rendered as open rectangles on the screen and not at all in PDF output. This happens with the automated font preview plugin, too. OpenOffice behaves equally badly with OpenSymbol on Fedora Core 1. Cutting and pasting e.g. Greek characters from the GNOME Unicode Character Map to Scribus does not work at all, but does work with Gimp 2.0, Abiword and other GTK 2 programs. The freetype library version is 2.1.4 and XFree86 version 4.3.0 (stock Fedora packages). Has anyone got Symbol fonts to work in Scribus on Fedora? This is a show-stopping problem for me and my colleagues, since we frequently need Greek symbols for scientific presentations. Mikko
