I won't be able to play more until Thursday, but at that point I can try 
playing with font paths.

I installed the complete distribution (you'll need the OEM support on 
x86, too), and selected any relevant software from the companion CD. 
Rather than the latter, you may be better off pulling down the packages 
from SunFreeWare.com. They are often a bit more current. I actually had 
to pull out a couple Companion CD packages, and replace them with 
SunFreeWare.com installs.

If Qt doesn't compile with thread support (do this one first), check the 
caveat for GCC on the sunfreeware site (I think it was regarding 
mkheaders). I haven't found a precompiled QT for Solaris with thread 
support. The rest of the dependencies should be fine, either with a 
standard ./configure; make, or from the sunfreeware packages. After 
that, the latest Scribus CVS should be pulled down and it should 
compile. Note that I haven't hunted down the developer package for 
Python for Solaris, so the script plugin doesn't get pulled in.

That should cover it. If you have any questions, I can try to help. My 
responses will be about this time of night, as I'll be out the next two 
evenings.
