[scribus] Missing fonts

My guess is; Jo has Windows 10; the update has removed Trajan Pro.
Scribus is accurately reflecting this.
The other products are still showing Trajan Pro in the "recently used" fonts
list. That is the bit that is confusing all this.
But my guess is; if Jo looks down to the rest of the list below that; the A-Z
list of fonts on the machine; Trajan Pro will be missing there too.
It's "Microsoft wot dun it" and if Jo wants to get Trajan Pro back; either get a
hookey copy off a friend still running Windows 7 or it is "money" time.
Have a good day
