Hi, With Windows XP GDI+ is already installed. Freetype is bundled with the Scribus install. I am not sure, but the download version may not be compatible with XP. I would remove both, then remove Scribus, the Scribus preference files and re-install Scribus. On Windows the preferences file is under Documents and Settings/%username/.scribus Other possible causes a severely broken freeware True Type font - even though Scribus has lots of 'self-defence' code to prevent fonts from causing crashes. Do you have a lot of freeware True Type fonts installed ? One other issue we have learned is some custom themes *do* cause problems with Scribus, hence we have strongly recommended disabling them when running Scribus. Lastly, please do not send HTML mail to a mailing list. It is simply not good netiqette. I am being polite and this is a very civilized group. Other lists I know of would enjoy a flamefest directed at you - just for sending HTML mail. Hope that helps, Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
