Hi,
Try.
1) Re downloading the files... ? Corrupted download or extraction ?
2) Re-name your .scribus directory.
3) Remove the freefonts package. Some of the fonts in that are not the
best quality.
4) If you do not use KDE, I can recommend upgrading Qt from here:
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/base/qt3-3.3.2-3.i586.rpm
and
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/development/
I have SuSE 9.0 here with KDE 3.2.2 and Qt 3.3.2-3 from the SuSE
updates. Scribus has worked wonderfully from Day 1.
Hope that helps,
Peter
