A multiple page eps did not survive importing into Scribus. But a single page mup produced document could be imported properly in either ps or eps form. There was a warning message about the font Times Roman but it seemed to have no effect on the output. I exported the file from Scribus 1.3.5 to pdf 1.4. The resulting file displayed and printed clearly. Scribus imports eps or ps files into a graphic item. Graphic items are by their nature single page items. So a multiple page eps or ps file produces hash. I will post the mup source file and the Scribus produced pdf on: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/holywalsh.mup and http://wexfordpress.com/tex/epstest.pdf -- John Culleton Precision Typesetting Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
