[scribus] PostScript Fonts in 1.3.6

[Mike Sleger]

I have identified the problem and submitted a bug report.  If a font is not copied to the Windows/Fonts folder when installing the font, newer versions of Scribus will not find the installed font.  Other Windows applications (including Scribus - 1.3.3.14) recognize fonts just fine when installed as shortcuts in the Fonts folder, but Scribus 1.3.6 and 1.3.8 do not.  Re-installing the fonts and copying them to the Fonts folder (doubling disk usage for the fonts) fixes the problem for newer Scribus versions, but this should not need to be done.

  I've downloaded and installed version 1.3.8 and my installed Type1 fonts are still not found.  They work fine in other applications and also work fine in 1.3.3.14, but later versions of Scribus fail to see the installed fonts.  They are installed in the normal Windows system fonts folder.  This forces me to use the older version for any document using Type1 fonts and thus unable to use any of the newer features or bug fixes with those documents.

    Scribus 1.3.3.14 recognizes and displays my PostScript Type1 fonts without any issue.  Version 1.3.6 fails to see the fonts and does substitutions.  What gives?
