I have not found any problems with my svn version thereof. In that line of development bugs have been fixed but no new features added. Now I don't use 1.4.3 that often, having moved on to 1.5.0. I always maintain backup copies of both versions so that if a problem occurs I can back up to an earlier version. But as I stated I haven't found a problem with 1.4.3 svn and rarely has 1.5.0 svn failed me. Enough bugs have been found and fixed already in the 1.4.x progression that I would rather rely on 1.4.x svn than 1.4.2. Have you tried Ubuntu or Debian repositories? There are 1.4.3 overnights for Ubuntu available on on the Scribus site. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
