Hi Christoph,
this is not a font problem - I use Gentium for the work. Scribus doesn't put 
the vowel characters in at all - there's not even those boxes that show up 
when using a insufficient font.

P.S.: by the way - this happens with Scribus-ng and with Scribus 1.3.3.9, but 
only when the LC_ALL=C option is used.
