[scribus] Scribus Feature Suggestion

[Mike Sleger]

I do not have 3000 fonts installed.  I have that many stored in the vault of my font manager.  Only a few of them are actually installed.

I should be able to click a Select All button, uncheck a Use Selected checkbox, select the 10 fonts I want to use, then click a Use Selected checkbox again.
