[Scribus] why texts are all squares?

[Ping Yeh]

Hi,

   I downloaded and compiled Scribus 1.1.1 on my Linux box.
I was following the tutorial
        http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/docs/page1.html
to learn Scribus.  But somehow I could not enter any text,
the textbox is always blank no matter what I type (I tried
to change colors).  Every character from "Get Text" is
displayed as a hollow square.  I'm sure this must be a
trivial problem somewhere in the configuration, but I have
struggled for one day with no results.  Any help on getting
me started with using Scribus would be appreciated, thanks!

p.s. The "documentation" link http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/documentation/
     doesn't work now.
