... or, as I have been able to observe by 
watching it start in the Force Quit dialog, it 
actually 'stopped responding' after a while; then 
I killed it...

Nope. Well: Not knowingly. Acc to Apple Font 
Book, I have datafork TrueTypes and regular 
TrueTypes in the system-wide font directories, 
and no fonts in user directory nor Classic (I 
haven't choosen a Classic folder for the test 
account). See list below. I believe I have made 
sure that the system-wide font directories 
contain nothing but Apple-installed fonts.
Also used Finder's Find to search the system for 
(visible and hidden) items with names containing 
"TTC" => nothing found.

(Note: 2 of the above fonts are listed somewhat 
weird because their names have been output to 
Terminal in Japanese encoding which does not 
transfer into my emailer)

*** I really wonder which of these fonts would be 
of type TTC, or how I'd find out...??? As said 
above, Font Book did not reveal such a detail... 
unless 'TTC' = "datafork TrueType' ??

>My current working theory is that your fontconfig settings are broken.

Since I seem to have this problem on a number of 
systems, I figure 'your' is referring here to my 
copy of Scribus' FontConfig.Framework.
I gave this a try, and downed and installed the 
Fontconfig. framework that's listed separately on 
the Aqua Scribus page.
Right on: Scribus started perfectly. Next, I 
removed this working framework copy to the 
Desktop and moved the previously installed copy 
(that I've downloaded as a part of the full 
framework package) back into the Framework 
directory. Big surprise: Scribus starts perfectly.

Tomorrow, I'll continue and try to get Scribus 
running on the Tiger system plus on the iMac as 
well; maybe this gives me some clue as to why 
this problem happened...

TNX! -Martin
