[Scribus] Scribus for Mac OS X

[jon]

Sorry for that.

Just start the terminal. Go to your user (home) directory (if you're  
not already there)
cd ~
or
cd /Volumes/ (your start volume) / Users / (Name of User directory) <=  
omit spaces
type
ls -al
If it this there, make a backup
cp .scribus .scribusBAK
mv .scribus scribus
look inside, delete scribus/checkfonts.xml within finder (or delete all)
mv scribus .scribus
try again to startup scribus

(if all runs smoothly you may remove .scribusBAK from your user  
directory)

That's only if it was created - but didn't you wrote you use a previous  
version of scribus before?

So if not, here is another try: Install the slightly older Version from  
aqua.scribus
http://www.scribus.net/index.php? 
name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=3&page=1
don't forget the libraries (frameworks) start scribus and let it create  
.scribus - folder.

And from here we may go again.
Hope this might be of any help to you.
Jon
