[scribus] Little red boxes in text documents

Well I am not sure. You might have different little red boxes. can you
upload a indicitive screenshot to http://imagebin.ca and let us know
what the url is that they give you after uploading.

And also tell us what version of Scribus you are using.

I just inserted some text that I had done in Kwrite, looks fine to me.

My guess is that the character created by Kwrite is not recognized by
your font and so a placeholder is created. My guesses are not always
right though.
