I don't think so. Scribus supports *.pfa, *,pfb (Postscript Type1), 
*ttf (Truetype) and *.otf fonts, no bitmap fonts though.
Scribus 1.3 also supports Apple *.dfont and *.ttfc (True Type 
Collection).

For Scribus 1.2 these fonts must lie in the toplevel of the additional 
font directory, Scribus 1.3 looks also into subdirs.
In Scribus you can use "scribus -fi" to get console output about font 
scanning and results.
