So, all I see are TTF, dfonts, and some otfs, no 
TTC. And all Apple-installed, I believe.

If so, how come that FontConfig was chewing on some TTC font?

Here's what happened on the iMac (10.3.8):
Remove previously installed Frameworks, 
re-downloaded and installed full framework 
package; Sribus ie FontConfig crashed.
Removed FontConfig and installed the FontConfig 
package that's available as a single download, as 
this seem to have done the trick yesterday. Ups: 
Sribus ie FontConfig crashed.
Realized that during troubleshooting I had 
applied one other measure: running fc-list.
So I ran fc-list on the iMac as well. When it was 
finished, double-clicked Scribus. Now starts 
perfectly.
=> Is it possible that Scribus.app has a problem 
to execute fc-list on first launch, whereas if 
fc-list done manually, Scribus afterwards doesn't 
need to do it anymore and can therefore complete 
it's startup process?

Best, Martin
