Having just checked in OpenOffice Writer, you are correct (was trying to get font recognized in Scribus and failed to actually check availability in anything elese.) So it is somehow a Scribus issue.
e.g. When I "apt-get install ttf-larabie-straight" the font is installed and configured correctly. So, when I select a font in OpenOffice or some other app, I see a great long list of fonts that were installed via apt. Scribus does not find these same fonts, yet Scribus uses fontconfig to build its font list, yes? So, why can it not find all my fonts?
