[Scribus] Font trouble on MDK10 official

[Robert French]

As Vlad suggested, I've installed the new rpm files, but scribus is  
still segfaulting at the same point. I've been looking around for  
information on xft, and I think it may be something to do with my font  
configuration, or lack thereof. Could someone post their font  
configuration so that I can correct what's in mine?

Thanks again,
Robert French
