The default font is determined via the app prefs. You'll find the initial setting (for when no prefs yet exist) in the prefs loading code. Search for "scribus*.rc" . (This is certainly correct for Scribus 1.3.x, and I think it should be right for 1.2.x; I don't have 1.2.x code on hand to check and I'm on a shockingly expensive 'net connection at Uni so I have no desire to download it right now).
It's probably not a bad idea to define a font or set of fonts to prefer for the default font if no preferences already exist. Of course, it's much better not to ship broken fonts with the OS. -- Can't enter text into textboxes in any way https://launchpad.net/bugs/45565 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
