Similar, yes, but not quite the same. I like the idea of being able to "remove unused" and "import list from another document", but doesn't seem very feasible with the current implementation - Font management within Scribus (silly to say the least, as Scribus is a layout application, not a font manager) cannot be done while a document is open. I don't mind the long list of fonts under Available Fonts - it's actually nice to have the option of selecting any font that Scribus knows about. The problem is that it's currently very tedious for enabling/disabling large quantities of fonts in the list. My suggestion would alleviate this until a better longterm solution (such has having Scribus use only INSTALLED fonts instead of ALL fonts) could be implemented.
