I?m running 1.0 on a gnetoo box in an en_US.UTF-8 locale. I use cups & gs8 + hpijs to print to an Officejet D.
[But I just discovered that cups? LANG is not set; perhaps that is why printing didn?t quite work for me. Even if so someone else might see the problem and not figure it out, so ... -JimC] I had the character ? (U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT) in a text box. When printed via scribus? print dialog, I got the latin1 version of the utf-8 encoding of the character: ? ?? ?. The postscript genereated, as seen when printed to a file, has the character like this: (?) 307.207 -10.6 0 0 0 1 shm Ie, with the character encoded in utf-8. Interestingly, acroread 5.0.5 on linux can display the exported pdf OK, but cannot print it either. It generated (\226) rather than (?) and that prints as a missing character box.... I changed the character from MIDDLE DOT to U+2022 BULLET and scribus now generates this ps: /bullet 307.32 -10.6 0 0 0 1 shg This also does the right thing when using acroread to print (or generate ps from) the exported pdf. So the problem seems to be only w/ unicode characters that are part of latin1, excluding ASCII. (The document I was working on uses Arial Narrow, if that matters.) As a side note, ttf fonts look bad on screen, though they print well. -JimC
