Subject: [scribus] Scribus 1.5..1 and 1.5.2 crash on Macos 10.11.6 when editing default character style or creating new char style

This is on a mac os 10.11.6 (El Capitan).  With both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 if I do
New document, choose single sided, press OK
Edit / Styles / Default Character Style then press Edit
I get a popup "Scribus crashes due to Signal #11"

A similar thing happens if I replaced step 2 with trying to create a new character style from the default.  The Style Manager shows the Default Character Style as Family Arial.   With version 1.4.5 I do not get the crash, and the Style Manager shows the Default Character as Family Times.

In February I was able to use Scribus 1.5.1 but I was running a much older version of Macos  (10.6 I think).

Preferences / Fonts shows that Arial font is available.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Could you try doing a debug build so that the gdb backtrace shows line numbers?

I think that you can do it by starting a clean build and adding -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWANT_DEBUG=1 to the cmake command line.

If you can get valgrind http://valgrind.org/ for MacOS, that might help also.
