I've been using scribus since version 0.97. I really like it, but i still can't use it in a production environment due to a few problems i haven't been able to solve: I use it under Mandrake 9.0, but upgraded qt libs to 3.1.2. I can properly display on-screen fonts only at 100% magnification, everything else creates overlapping wrongly-sized fonts, no anti-aliased, and practically unreadable, and that makes very difficult text-adjustments and editing. I tried to upgrade to QT 3.2.0, and compiled it myself, but that didn't change the issue. Above all, with last scribus 1.0.1 at configure time my LibTiff isn't properly detected and i end up with:
FreeType2 installed: Yes CUPS installed: Yes LittleCMS installed: Yes TiffLib installed: No That is always been a issue with my Mandrake, and i used to bypass the problem with LD_FLAGS="-lm", but now it doesn't work anymore. Tried cvs but got the same problem. I think i will stick to 1.0.0 version, but would love to fix it for the future. Any help (on the font rendering issue above all) will be greatly aprreciated. best regards and a lot of thaks to the developers for their wonderful work. architetto Francesco Fantoni, Modena, Italia
