[scribus] batch search and replace

Hi,
Just started using Scribus in the last few months to produce my small 
press magazine, it's a really great program, so thanks to all the devs 
for their continued hard work.

That said I have an issue I'd appreciate some help with. And it is 'me' 
(not Scribus) who has the issue - I use InDesign and work and would have 
the same problem there! The font I'm using (supplied with my Kyocera 
printer) seems to have some glyphs in unusual locations. I'm wondering 
if anyone has done, or it's possible to use the scripting feature to 
batch search and replace? At the moment I'm having to do a search and 
replace for every (unlinked)frame and every glyph. It's a little tedious!

Anyway, before I try to delve into learning Python I thought I'd check 
I'm not reinventing the wheel.

Thanks,

Ian
