For once, it's appropriate to re-post your question - and thanks for doing so politely instead of forwarding a copy as quoted text back to the list as some folks seem to do. >Please be so kind to check wether this is only my problem or if I should file >a >bug. > > 1.2.2cvs's print preview should work fine. >In the actual 122cvs from yesterday Print-Preview shows nothing.

Old GhostScript versions are the #1 cause of problems with things like print preview, and Scribus can't automatically pick up your new version (unless you tweak your PATH); it has to be told it's there. If that's not it, then to be able to do much more it might be necessary to get a backtrace - a crash dump from the program. This will generally only work if you compiled Scribus yourself, and needs a debugging tool called "gdb" to be installed (you quite possibly have it already if you compiled Scribus). Let me know when you've confirmed Scribus is using the correct GhostScript, and I'll give you some instructions. Alternately, I or someone else who's around at the time can probably help you do it on IRC, if that's easier - #scribus on irc.freenode.net . The channel doesn't always have people there who're able to listen and help, but does most of the time. It'd also be helpful if you could do a couple of test documents to help track down where the problem is. Doing one without images but using the fonts you used in your document, and another with nothing but BitStream Vera, Nimbus, or some other "boring" font, would be really helpful. -- Craig Ringer
