Hi Michael,

there is a file "checkfonts.xml"
path: ~/.scribus/checkfonts.xml

You can try to delete this (it's a collection of cached font paths) or  
delete the whole .scribus folder.
It will be recreated after you start scribus.

You might want to backup the whole thing before, though - if you delete  
the whole folder,
your prefs and colors (and?) will also be lost.

cheers
Jon
