Then Scribus sees 235 usable font files...

The GUI control is possibly making a list of 4x25 to show your *almost* 100 
fonts. Edit Paragraph Styles breaks the font names and their variants out. 
See the control below the one you are using.

Story Editor's font list in the menu is for the GUI display only, not fonts 
for your canvas items. The one on the toolbar shows exactly the same 
information as the Edit Paragraph Styles one does.
