I just do not want "Times" in the list of available fonts in the first

Yep I had this one too.
What I did was to create a new font folder, in Linux called 
/home/username/.fonts which hides the folder. Without the dot the folder is visible.
Don't know how to do it in Windows.
Put all the fonts I need for Scribus into that hidden  folder and direct the 
Scribus font list to that folder and dissassociate the list all other  folders.
