Probably this: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688130 You did not say which distro you use. Work around? install these: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/GhostPCL/urwfonts-1.41.tar.bz2 That said, this section of the docs is quite important, maybe the most important for all users to read: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=fonts2 Hope that helps, Peter
