[Bug 2014956] Re: Ubuntu 22.10 Scribus 1.5.8 package overflows text causing document layouts to not match previous versions
Just to add I also tried installing this new test ubuntu-fonts set:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-font-update-available-for-
testing/34676
But it hasn't helped.
It does appear to just be the tracking (or horizontal font spacing)
that's causing the problem and causing text to now overflow and not fit.
With further testing, the vertical spacing all seems to be the same as
it was before.
Also Scribus still reports Ghostscript as 9.56.1 on the About window,
same as it did before back on Jammy.

Title:
Ubuntu 22.10 Scribus 1.5.8 package overflows text causing document
layouts to not match previous versions
Status in scribus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hi, I have noticed a big problem with Scribus after upgrading from
Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10.
Despite Scribus showing the same version number of 1.5.8 (23rd January
2022 build - Kinetic reports it as 1.5.8+dfsg-3build1 in apt-cache
policy), there is a big difference when loading up a document.
I have tested this on both a laptop and a desktop computer, both
computers used to run the older Ubuntu version and documents looked
great.
Now when I open the same documents using 22.10 distro version in
Scribus the text is overspilling or overflowing in every text box, and
it looks like even the line spacing varies slightly too.
This means I now have many large Scribus document files in which the
layout is all messed up.
I've tried reinstalling fonts (I mainly use Ubuntu font) and that
doesn't seem to help.
Can anyone help with a fix so I can open my documents up correctly
please?

Steps to recreate are just create a doc in Jammy using Scribus 1.5.8 -
and fill a text box nicely so it ends at the end of the box and fits
well and is tracked etc neatly. Then open that same file in Kinetic's
Scribus 1.5.9 and you'll see the text no longer fits in the box
despite using the same Ubuntu font etc.
