[Scribus] Re: Scribus Nachrichtensammlung, Band 8, Eintrag 1

[Sunil Joshi]

Dear Martin and Peter:
Thank you for your clarfying answers.  I rebuilt Scribus from scratch, 
and now it recognizes CUPS.  So, I am able to see the Landscape 
printing offered in the print options.

I have noticed though that the print options function is not very 
stable.  Some times it opens the print options panel, and at other 
times it seems to crash the program with a "segmentation fault" error.  
I am not sure if this is a problem with just my build (even the new 
build has the problem) or its a problem on Macs, or if it is a general 
problem on all platforms.   That said, its a minor irritation that I 
can live with.

Scribus is a great program, and I thank Franz for creating it and 
providing it, and both of you for all the support you are giving to the 
newcomers such as myself. GIMP is my favorite Unix program.  Scribus is 
quickly becoming my second most favorite program.

-Sunil
