[Bug 3496] Re: scilab installer bad path and fonts

[PeteDonnell]

Looks as though there is progress towards version 4 being released, see

While we're still using the buggy version 3, I discovered that it's
possible to run scilab in command line (as opposed to windowed) mode,
using the command 'scilab -nw'. This appears to get round the font
problem. Obviously it's not an ideal solution, but does allow scilab to
be used without messing around with packages or compiling from source.
