neat! i've created a repository where people can make pull requests and 
add test documents:

https://github.com/scribusproject/test-samples

(a first draft of sinhaleses files are already there...)

the tests will then be submitted to the scribus team and possibly 
included in the official scribus/resources/tests/ directory in the trunk.

well, the first time he sees it in a DTP program... (browsers and even 
windows' notepad seem to display it correctly... but their job is a bit 
easier)


anyway, if you want to see how cool it looks in scribus, here it is!
