I'll just say, with caveats, that I've not had any problems with Scribus on Ubuntu. but here are the caveats:
1) I am a pretty experience Linux user, and even specifically an experienced Ubuntu user. I know most of the workarounds and fixes and/or how to look them up, such that a big problem to a novice might not seem like such a big deal to me. (I am not trying to be cocky, smug, or bragging with this statement) 2) I don't use Scribus all that often, really 3) (regarding the font problem that started this thread) I haven't tried installing fonts that aren't just available in the Ubuntu package repos (there are a LOT of excellent fonts there, btw) YMMV and all that. I've tried SuSE and frankly, it is just far less appealing to use, to me, as a desktop OS, than is Ubuntu. -- JDS
