[Scribus] Placing various file types on a Mac

[Walt Pawley]

I'm completely new to Scribus so I'm probably missing something
or just expecting too much. On Mac OS X, in particular, RTF
files are commonly available but I don't see a means of placing
them and including their fonts, sizes, colors, etc. I did a
little research and found that the RTF specification is owned
by Microsoft yet there seems to be publicly available and open
source implementations conversion software. Is there some
licensing issue, perhaps? (I didn't see any)
