I just did a massive overhaul of Fink and installed scribus 1.1.5. I installed gcc3.3 using the Apple X11 Aug. 2003 so I could use 10.2-gcc3.3 and switched to the unstable tree because I kept wanting the latest versions of stuff. I had a rough time of making this transition due to a flaky internet connection and not fully understanding some of the recent changes to Fink and its virtual packages, but I finally managed to get all my installed packages up-to-date. Scribus seemed to install OK, but when I run scribus now, all the text in the menus is little boxes instead of readable letters. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
I already deleted my .scribusfont.rc file and .scribus directory. Before I did that, scribus would show its splash screen, then take over my monitor with a white screen and some gray stripes (like it was trying to draw the scribus window in full-screen mode but with no menus), then I would be logged out. I don't know if anyone is interested in the .scribus directory that was causing this. I kept it around just in case. Below are the packages and versions I have installed that scribus depends on. I hope I got them all. I upgraded from Scribus 1.1.1.
