There are a few head scratchers out there and this might be one. However, The font set you want is called mgopen. You can get it by installing it. As root, run: yum install mgopen-fonts This can be done on a LiveCD as well, but it's only temporary as long as the LiveCD is running. I hope you enjoy Scribus. If you haven't tried it before, I'd also recommend inkscape.
