OK, I solved the problem, while upgrading freetype and fontconfig the
libraries were updated, but headers not. Don't ask me, why. I checked
every library, file by file and finally scribus compiled with no problem.

I have updated Qt (earlier, I installed on Slack 8 version from Slack 9),
fontconfig, freetype, autoconf, automake.

Everything works ok, Polish metrics as well (earlier did not), also
editing works.

I have some notices, but I think this topic has expired ;)

The fonts are matter of fontconfig and eventually freetype. It doesn't
matter, Slack or sth. You should find and install fonts.
