Thanks for the explanations, but I have not still resolved the problem.
I use a linux to slackware 10.2 with kde 3.4
I have replaced the Open Type fonts with True Type fonts but in the
interface of scribus I do not find the fonts.
In the other applications the font it comes used correctly
The fonts are installs in ~/.font.


Thanks for the suggestions.
