Typically the first guess is fonts. Scribus must be finding some fonts. Do you 
have the ghostscript fonts installed, in particular Hershey? Nuke it if so. 
Scribus uses X11 for font finding, and then your additional font paths, which 
you wont have any of if you nuke your ~/.scribus/* prefs files.
