[Scribus] some fonts fail

[bart at solozone.com]

My wingdings.ttf fails completely in Scribus cvs December 28, 2003 (and prior).  The keyboard does not register at all if this is selected! Also a "video" font from hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/multimedia/fonts does not survive export by pdf as Acrobat Reader says it cannot extract the embedded font. Shall I send an attachment of these?

I have 200 others working fine.

By the way, why is it still necessary to LOWER CASE (sh tolower.sh) the names? I do so; but it would be trivial (?) to alter this restriction?

Happy New Year!
