<quoting> 'qtconfig' is available in the 'qt3-qtconfig' package, which is in universe. What functionality is in this program, is it for customisation? </quoting>
Yes, but there is more to it than simple customisation, then without qt3-qtconfig and the lack of a proper /etc/qt.rc (as pointed by Peter Linnell from the Scribus team), _every_ qt application cannot look properly on _Ubuntu_. The end user will be confronted with a random GUI font and random font size -- like Lohit Punjub without Latin glyphs on Peter's en_US desktop. A Scribus user on Ubuntu is forced to find out on his own, why Scribus looks like this, then to find out, how to customise this, and then to manually install qt3-qtconfig, because there is no dependancy. A little to much for Ubuntu target audience, I guess: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Getting_Scribus_on_Ubuntu/Kubuntu_up_and_running#Finetuning_Scribus So, the proposed solution for Ubuntu would be to: 1. Deliver a properly configured /etc/qt.rc that would match GUI font type and font size settings of the Gnome desktop 2. Deliver qt3-qtconfig as an obligatory, not an optional package -- Ubuntu Dapper: missing dependancy to qtconfig or properly setup /etc/qt.rc render QT applications unusable https://launchpad.net/bugs/66917 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
