I've looked around a little and found that there are many fonts of 
different kind that aren't recognised by scribus but work fine in 
Inkscape, for example: Chicago (Apple Trutype), Univers (Adope PS 
Type1), Frutiger (PS Type1).

I tried with all tricks (compressing with stuffit, installing stuffit 
for windows, etc.) but it doesn't work :-(
So I can't imagine that any dtp-professional would throw all his 
expensive fonts away and buy new ones, even if they were available just 
to work with Scribus. And what I can't understand is that theese fonts 
work without any problem on the same machine also under X11 with 
Inkscape.
Don't get me wrong, I like Scribus very much and there are great 
improvements, but as long as most of my fonts don't work in Scribus I 
can't use it. I hope in the future the font-management will be as good 
as in Inkscape or sodipodi.
