[Scribus] Double byte fonts again

[Vladimir Zborowski]

Thanx very much for you reply. 
The font is a TTF that is shipped with Win 2000.  You can dowload it 
here http://shanghai-web.tripod.com/simhei.zip
Actually that is the only installed font I have that works with my text 
but  may be I should try with a font for simplified Chinese that you 
know works fine with scribus : could you indicate me one ?
My local settings are fr_FR. Does that have an influence ?
Thanks again
Vlad
