You're kidding? Why make something worse? O.K. Scribus is for Linux and 
not for Mac so I must not complain, but I like not only the opensource 
idea but also Scribus. So it's sad to here that I won't be able to use 
most of my fonts neither in scribus nor in Inkscape in the future, or 
did I get something wrong?
