Hello Paraplegic Racehorse,
defoma (short for Debian font management) is indeed a special very debianish 
thing. However, in Debian Sarge it makes fonts available to ghostscript, 
fontconfig-aware applications and defoma-aware applications at once.
Here proper Debian fontpacks such as Latin Modern get defomanized by default 
and are available for use with ghostscript and fontconfig-aware applications.
If you have problems you can defomanize manually for example a truetype font 
residing in /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype with
defoma-hints -c --no-question truetype /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/* 
> /etc/defoma/hints/truetype.hints 
above all one line, then
defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/truetype.hints
then
defoma-reconfigure and xset fp rehash 
The defoma-manpages give you more detailed information. You can additionally 
install by means of fontconfig (for example via KDE control center) or 
specifically for Scribus using the Scribus fontpath dialog.
Yours sincerely
Tobias Hilbricht
