Summary0013021: Better orientation instructions for font config pane (add a legend box explaining terms)
DescriptionFont config is tricky.

Scribus could warn at the top of the dialog :
"1) this pane is only for experienced user.
2) Warning ! When you change a setting in this dialog, it changes the way ALL documents are handled because fonts settings are a gloabl setting.
3) Only reason for this dialog to appear in "Document's preferennces" is the "Used" column.".

There could also be some explanation hints for each column

"use font" : "Check here when Scribus should propose this font in the various font choice comboboxes"

"subset" : "Only embed used glyphs in the produced PDF. Produced PDF might become smaller. It is *strongly* advised that all OTF font have this checked. For TTF fonts, checking might impro"

"Postscript embed" (french "Incorporation Postcript") : "Only used for postscript embedding in PDF 1.5"

"Used" : "On document preferences only : shows whether font is used in opened document"

I think we should have a 'legend' for this dialog for sure.
