The reason I couldn't get kcontrol to work is because with KDE 4.x kcontrol has been replaced by systemsettings. Typing "systemsettings" at a command line opened the KDE settings GUI. Then all I had to do was change the settings for the fonts. Documented here in case another Gnome user of Scribus gets bitten by the same issue.
