[Scribus] Font trouble on MDK10 official

Fellow Scribus Users,
I'm having trouble getting Scribus (1.1.6 & 1.1.5) to run on MDK10
official. This was not a graphical machine initially, I've installed X,
Qt, and some fonts myself to meet the scribus dependencies. When I
start scribus, I get the splash screen, and then it segfaults before
any text is displayed on the splash screen. I've looked at the core
dump in gdb, and it told me this:
crashes at XftDrawSrcPicture () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2
Since scribus compiles with no errors, I'm assuming that there are
missing fonts or something? (Xft does deal with fonts, right?). My
knowledge of fonts and X11 is very limited, but I'm willing to read
whatever documentation I need to for scribus to work.
Thank you,
Robert French
By the way, I think Scribus is a great alternative for people who are
tired of dealing with Quark's crap.
