[Scribus] Hidden fonts in OSX

Hi!

I don't know how many of you know this, but OSX has more fonts than 
found in /Library/Fonts,  /System/Library/Fonts and /Systemfolder/Fonts 
(see below).

If you want to use those, do NOT use Fontbook to install! Fontbook 
removes the fonts from their old location and that may render the 
applications unusable (eg Java).

Best way is to use the Finder to copy the fonts to a new place like 
~/Library/Fonts. This
also preserves the resource fork of the fonts who have it (when ls 
reports 0 filesize).
You could also use the CpMac or fondu utilities.

Please note that these fonts are usually copyrighted, so don't 
distribute them unless you have checked yourself it's permitted.
