[Scribus] making fonts available to scribus..

[Johannes Wilm]

I believe the defome (debian font manager) and the debian packaging system 
have a quiet elaborte setup for all this... in other words: I don't think it 
is safe messing around with that just like that, its normally all handled by 
the system upon installation of the msttcorefonts-debian-package. So I don't 
think this can be a permanent sollution. You probably don't get around fixing 
scribus...

But I will try now...
