That would be me, I guess. Unfortunately, I know nothing about font 
management, either in X11 or in MacOS. I don't have any private fonts 
installed, and the ghostscript and Apple system fonts seem to work in 
scribus.

I have the Fink packages x-ghostscript-fonts and applesystemfonts 
installed. These packages create directories 
/sw/lib/X11/fonts/{ghostscript,applettf} that are populated with 
symlinks to the right font files and all the other necessary stuff. In 
particular, fonts.dir and fonts.scale files are generated. Scribus seems 
to find them OK.

You might want to have a look at the applesystemfonts-*.info file for an 
idea what to do with your own fonts.

There are a couple of other Fink packages containing fonts. I haven't 
tried them, but I suppose they will be doing the right thing, too, to be 
recognized by Scribus.
