I too have seen 'phantom' fonts. If one opens a new document and save, having 
used only a space character, then the phantom.sla file shows


 <ITEXT CAB="0" CCOLOR="Black" CSIZE="12" CH=" " CSHADE2="100" CSCALE="100" 
CSHADE="100" CSTYLE="0" CFONT="Century Schoolbook L Roman" CEXTRA="0"
CSTROKE="Black" />
   <PageItemAttributes/>
  </PAGEOBJECT>
 </DOCUMENT>

 and this is correct since the space character of that font has been in fact 
used. Moreover, if one uses a font and deleted its characters the fonts may 
still show in the *.sla file and in style--> font menu as being in use. If the 
font is not supported, but one thought it had been deleted, scribus will crash 
with 'signal #11,' it seems.

 If we had "Reveal Codes" feature like Word Perfect one could edit attributes 
more easily. But scribus, of ocurse, has text strings in XML to control 
attributes, as opposed to WP control codes, for which there is, in another 
context, wp2latex.
