Is the font free? If so, is there anywhere I can download the version used in Ubuntu to test against recent Scribus 1.3.x CVS?

1.3.x is much fussier about broken fonts, rejecting them rather than sometimes staggering blindly onward. There are LOTS of fonts that look just fine until you try to use them for DTP - Scribus uses lots of features from fonts that other apps just don't, so we run into lots of fonts that're subtly broken.

A good 95% of font-specific issues, when investigated, turn out to be buggy and broken fonts.
