Summary0016379: Fonts are ragged (low resolution) in 1.5.6.1
DescriptionWhen I upgraded from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6.1 the font of text when viewed on screen in Scribus are low resolution (ragged). The font previews in the pull-down menus are also ragged. This problem did not occur in 1.5.5, where the fonts are always crisp. See screenshots. I've uninstalled 1.5.6.1, reinstalled 1.5.5, and the problem has gone away. But I would like to use the newer version.

I have uploaded yesterday a 1.5.7.svn snapshot which contains a change for this issue. It is available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-svn/1.5.7.svn/

Please test!

Yes, that does solve the problem. This snapshot version has clear fonts again. Thanks.

Correction. The fonts look good in the text box itself, but they are still low resolution in dropdown menus. See screenshot.

Indeed. This is now fixed as well as quite a few other related issues I discovered while doing some tests. I have uploaded new snapshots on sourceforge.
