Hi Sjoerd,

now we are at the bottom of the problem. I adjusted the Display size 
to 136% as then I had paper:display 1:1.

When I put it back to 100% and view is also "Actual size" the font 
rendering is fine - like in other applications (KDE 3.1.2, SuSE 
8.2).

The moment I adjust View or Display size fonts go astray.

It's definitely problem of Scribus not being able to render zoomed 
fonts correctly.

I hope developers will solve it soon.

Thank you for valuable tip. I know now the problem is Scribus at 
least.

Best regards,
Jozef
