Package: scribus
Version: 1.4.0.dfsg+r17300-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


Dear Maintainer,

the current version of scribus appears to not handle Chinese characters
with any grace. When I try to edit Chinese in the story editor, the
result is simply an empty frame. Likewise, editing existing documents
with text frames containing Chinese characters is impossible, as is
importing Chinese characters via the clipboard.

To work around the problem, I tried to backport the version in testing,
as well as compiling upstream's SVN trunk along with your packaging code
from git.debian.org, but to no avail - dependencies would have forced me
to upgrade my machine to testing or unstable, which is currently not
acceptable to me.

While I recognize that this is an upstream problem (possibly even fixed
in upstream - only not verifiable for me atm), please keep the bug as a
reminder until this problem is being resolved in Debian, too.

TIA!


Kind regards,
--Toni++
