http://www.fontmatrix.net/ & there are explicit instructions for installation on debian/ubuntu Linux at: http://svn.gna.org/svn/undertype/trunk/tools/typotek/debian-ubuntu-install.txt This can also be installed from the 'Add/Remove' menu, but it is an older version, the newer one appears to be somewhat better worked out, from the limited testing I did, & read at the link above. As I am aware that, at least on previous versions of Scribus, there are sometimes important font issues... I am now assuming if I run into some such difficulty, I can disable the offending critter/s with a fontmanager such as the one I mention, in Scribus? I did use, when on older Mac OS, years ago, Adobe ATM & another related such program, I'm for the moment, forgetting the name, which also did checking for font corruption/s, which in that Mac world, could be insidious problems... i.e., cause system crashes.
