Running into a display problem with Scribus here that I was hoping to find out if someone else has been seeing or not. The base application works great. I've already worked up a couple of flyers for a friend using the older version. This is really a fantastic application. My problem seems to be new with version 1.0. Zooming in and out of the document view causes the fonts being displayed to mash up into eachother so they appear to overlap. I'm guessing this problem has to do with freetype2 as the Scribus web site mentions that this needs to be installed in order for zooming to work. After a cvsup of my ports tree I forced a reinstall of freetype2, and then upgraded ghostscript. I then forced a reinstall of Scribus itself. After all that I still can't zoom into a document. This is pretty critical, as the 100% view is simply too small to work with. BTW, Scribus does recognize that freetype2 is installed during the configure process, and I can see library includes occurring during the compile. At least that much is working. I don't believe this is a general Scribus bug as their have been lots of reviews in the press concerning this product running under Linux. There's either something wrong with the FreeBSD implementation or just my box.
