[Scribus] Problems with Scribus.

[Chris Wagner]

I am having several issues with Scribus that vary in priority.

Yellow Dog Linux 3.0
Scribus 1.0.1
QT-3.1.1-6

1. Scribus has been known on the system to crash unexpectedly.
Can't recall what the console reported, but I guess I wanted to see if 
Scribus happens to write errors to a /var/log/error_log_of_some_sort.

2. When I work in Scribus, fonts don't show up.
This was a new anomolie. I can create a text box, type, and nothing 
shows in the box. Try to change the color and it says it's set to the 
default black. Can't recall when it started doing this, but this machine 
has xfs pointing to several directories for truetype fonts. Is there a 
known issue with Scribus and TTF?

3. Couldn't find where I could adjust text vertically within a text box.
Is this capable of being done in Scribus?

4. When the fonts did show up, they looked on screen as if the tracking 
were REALLY cramming the characters together. Wasn't sure if that was 
just a display setting or what, but it doesn't do that on other apps on 
this box (KWord, etc).

I would recompile Scribus except that it took forever on this box 
(PM6500 with 128MB).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris
