As for the fonts installed under Windows, you just have to move to the 
respective directory from your Linux partition and install the fonts for 
Linux, or, if you are running the two OSes on two different machines, 
copy the font files to a USB stick or something else.

For the use of fonts in Scribus, please have a look here:

This one should answer all your questions.
