Package: scribus Version: 1.4.0.dfsg+r17300-1.1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, the current version of scribus appears to not handle Chinese characters with any grace. When I try to edit Chinese in the story editor, the result is simply an empty frame. Likewise, editing existing documents with text frames containing Chinese characters is impossible, as is importing Chinese characters via the clipboard. To work around the problem, I tried to backport the version in testing, as well as compiling upstream's SVN trunk along with your packaging code from git.debian.org, but to no avail - dependencies would have forced me to upgrade my machine to testing or unstable, which is currently not acceptable to me. While I recognize that this is an upstream problem (possibly even fixed in upstream - only not verifiable for me atm), please keep the bug as a reminder until this problem is being resolved in Debian, too. TIA!
