I have a problem with Scribus. I suspect it is one which is well-known to many potential users (scientists, engineers, maths teachers ..) but I can find no clear, explicit and definitive reference to it on the web.
I have Scribus 1.3.5.1 running on a 17" Powerbook under OS-X 10.5.7 The Symbol font will not display; Zapf Dingbats will not display; Render Frame will not work (). Latex/Tex is not working/available .... I am a technical author. I need to set Greek symbols within lines of ordinary text. I need to set mathematical formulae. Please would someone let me know if I am just wasting my time with Scribus. It is better for me to know that NOW, rather than waste time struggling. I suspect that I shall have to "bin" Scribus, immediately, which is very sad, because it would, otherwise, have been an wonderful application. I anticipate extreme disappointment! If I am wrong and there is a workaround, or I am missing the obvious, please could anyone who can advise me, do so in clear ?non- computerish? terms. Hopefully, I will then have at least some chance of understanding and, more importantly, implementing whatever is suggested.
