Hi there I'm running into the same issue as reported here: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-August/006204.html and here: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2003-October/002352.html
-- when creating a new document (empty or from template) Scribus hangs and endlessly writes 'QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0)' to the terminal. This is with scribus-1.2.1 on my laptop. The same version on my desktop works fine. Both machines are Gentoo Linux, and I installed using http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?scribus-1.2.1 Is there any info I could give you to help make my laptop play nice? -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
