Can't reproduce. What font do you use?

Scribus relies on freetype for fonthandling, "invlaid glyph" means that some glyph couldn't be loaded by freetype.

I use fonts delivered by Adobe (CS) and Apple, which works fine with any applications.

Jarzus, I cannot reproduce it on linux, but have you tried to change the story editor font (see the screen shot)?

You could even download some windows TTF fonts corefonts.sf.net, add them to your font paths in Scribus (launch scribus, go straight without opening a document to the menu Edit>Preferences>Fonts... and click on the tab Additional paths), and try to set this font as default in the Story Editor. Perhaps we could find this way, it this issue is specific to this build.

Perhaps this wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Converting_Mac_fonts_for_use_with_Scribus could help too?

I tried with your suggestions and it's the same effect. Scribus crashes only while changing text with polish characters. Also, I see polish characters in story editor correctly, but can't see them in text frame (look on the sreenshot).
Does anybody use polish characters with Native Aqua Build wihout that problem?

Reminder sent to: plinnell, subik

I don't know, wheter avox was able to test this issue with other than western european glyphs, but obviously we need some more mac testers, at least those from non latin-1 countries :)

Petr, you probably can't test this issue on mac, can you? Do you know any well frequented Czech DTP/Mac usenet groups?

I have the same problem that jarzuz have. I've tried some different fonts: Apple dfonts, Adobe OpenType and some TrueType fonts, including Microsoft's fonts. With all of them I can write using polish diacritics in Story Editor, but in main window the text displays only characters before first appearance of polish diacritic. For example: "dobry paj?czek" (good little spider) in Story Editor gives "dobry paj" in coresponding text frame in main window.

Additionaly I can't write any text input in main window. In a text box I see blinking cursor, but it doesn't respond to keyboard input. In the Story Editor it works correct.

The diacritics and dead keys issue is one we know about and are working on a solution. The crashes have been fixed, but are only in CVS this morning.

It turned out that this error is independent of fonts. It should be corrected in the latest Aqua snapshot from May 21.

This is a known problem with text focus. You can use the tool button for edit text instead.
