I have been following the ensuing thread. Perhaps try this;
1. Use Vim (the latest version on Linux Mint 18.1 is what I used)
2. Drop your code into vim
3. Then print the file to postscript
:hardcopy >file.ps
4. Open Scribus (I am using the latest 1.5.3 and import your ps vector file.
All good, an example is

http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/perl_poem.sla (A0 size sla)
http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/perl_poem.pdf (resulting pdf)
