When I open one of those documents with 1.3.8 (Kubuntu 10.04), I always get a message saying something to the effect that some fonts -- i.e. Arab -- are not installed and asks for font substitution (I have chosen Arial). I select "make this substitution permanent". Even when I save the document, and reopen it again, I still have to go through that annoying bit about font substitution.

My scanning of sla documents to look for the source of this suggests 
that it comes from a saving of the default font inside the document.

It might be worth a try to open the doc in Scribus, go to File > 
Document Settings, changing the default font, and then saving the doc to 
see if this works.
Otherwise, you have to do a plain text search and replace on the sla 
file to get rid of the annoyance.
