Well I am not sure. You might have different little red boxes. can you upload a indicitive screenshot to http://imagebin.ca and let us know what the url is that they give you after uploading. And also tell us what version of Scribus you are using. I just inserted some text that I had done in Kwrite, looks fine to me. My guess is that the character created by Kwrite is not recognized by your font and so a placeholder is created. My guesses are not always right though. -- Owen
