I copied the .sla text to Scribus and created a PDF which looks just 
like yours. And, I'm on Ubuntu Linux. I think Scribus may not like the 
kerning in the Edwardian Script even though it is ITC. Try another 
typeface that goes with the theme of your invitation.

Maybe others will have a better idea.
