In other words, in order to be able to use Deja Vu Sans Bold, you must have the metrics for that, separate from Deja Vu Sans Book. Same with Italics and so on.
Various wordprocessors will "fake" a bold font by modifying the appearance of the Book or Regular font when the actual metrics of the bold font do not exist. Thus when you import this into Scribus, no style is created for that modification. If you use Libre Office, you should make true styles from actual font metrics. These should be imported into Scribus without problems. Greg
