Summary0002890: Scribus 1.2x writes buggy scribusfont.rc under SuSE 10.0
DescriptionToday I wondered why Scribus 1.2.3 and 1.2.4cvs didn't find freshly installed fonts under SuSE 10.0. SuSE (KFontsinst) installs the fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts, so I added the path in the font dialog. It turned out that Scribus is cutting off the last character of the path ("/usr/local/share/font", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetyp".

I was able to fix this by editing scribusfonts.rc manually, but it is annoying. Also, it is only a problem of 1.2x under SuSE 10.0. 1.3x work fine under 10.0, and 1.2x do so under 9.3.
TagsNo tags attached.

Can't tell you right now. It's the PC at my work with a fresh SuSE 10.0 install, without any updates yet. So Qt is the one currently shipped with SuSE 10.0.

This indeed does happen. Will test on 9.1

Then this appens on both 3.3.4 shipped with suse 10.0 and 3.3.5 shipped with KDE 3.5.0

As a related issue, the question remains why Scribus 1.2x doesn't find the fonts without adding /usr/local/share/fonts as a new font path. The other apps shipped with 10.0 don't show this problem.

1.2.x doesnt use fontconfig.

/usr/local/share/fonts should not come into the picture at all on a Suse system. Any fonts there are locally added, not a distro package.

After having observed the strange issues with recent SuSE distros, wouldn't it be useful to have a separate readme_suse?

This is also broken in 1.3.4cvs and because of this EPS import sometimes fails.

Issue closed due to the fact that Scribus 1.2.x is deprecated in the meantime.
