[Scribus] Scribus 1.2: "insert special" doesnt work

[Christoph Schäfer]

Hi everybody,

maybe any Mandrake users have had a similar problem:

The "insert special"-box is unusable in scribus 1.2. It opens neither by 
using "Extra" nor in the story editor. I supposed this to be a font 
problem (no special chars available) but it doesn't work with any of my 
type 1 or true type fonts.

I can do a workaround with Kcharselect and the clipboard, but this is 
not how scribus is supposed to work, I believe ;-)

Any ideas?

Christoph
