I've been reading about Scribus and finally downloaded it today to try it out...and I'm having problems with it. This is Scribus 1.3.3.13 prebuilt for Windows, installed from the installer; I'm running Windows XP, and I've installed Ghostscript 8.64.
The first problem I've observed is there is no "paper" shown in the GUI. I am working through the "Scribus Quick Start Guide", and when I created a new page, there was no "page" drawn on the GUI...just rulers on the edges. When I would add a shape and change its color, all I saw were red box outlines; the only way I found to see my page properly was with the print preview. I restarted Scribus in console mode, and there are many messages: "ASSERT: "src_dc && dst_dc" in kernel\qpaintdevice_win.cpp (388) QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters". What did I do incorrectly, and what should I do to fix this and see the document I'm creating? The second problem occurred when I attempted to insert a .JPG image and Scribus crashed. From the console window: "Scribus Crash ----------------------- Scribus crashes due to the following exception : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION Calling Emergency Save". I thought I had followed the Windows installation instructions correctly... Is there a step I missed somewhere?
