As synaptic is a  .deb package manager it is highly likely that 
the OS is Linux and that the distro is Debian based. The 
questioner seems to be rather new to their system, so it would be 
a reasonable guess that they might be trying Ubuntu.

http://penguinfonts.com/ has a large selection of fonts and "how 
to" install instuctions for all the major distros.

sudo fc-cache -s -v   will rebuild fontconfig,

Scribus can "forget" fonts - it has forgotten three  of mine - 
including Gargi 1.7 which had been its default.  However, 
forgetting all of them is most unlikely.
