Summary0008647: Permanence of font substitutions is quite limited (although substitute font permanently is checked)
DescriptionWhen I open documents referencing a font not installed on the system, I get a message making a proposal to substitute the missing font. At the bottom of that dialog is a checkbox offering "substitute permanently".
Checking this seems to have no notable effect, although it should make the
substition permanent for this document (in my wee understanding).
Steps To ReproduceOpen a document that uses a font that is missing on the system.
When the font substition dialog comes up, check "substitute permanently" and
accept.
Make changes to document and save.
Exit scribus.
Reopen document.
Deja Vu ensues, you get the same substitution dialog, although
in my understanding I opted for permanent substitution of the missing font.

 Tested r22193; Linux Mint 18

I can reproduce.

"Reopen document.
Deja Vu ensues, you get the same substitution dialog, although
in my understanding I opted for permanent substitution of the missing font."

Scribus after replace and after save does not modify in the .sla file the <DOCUMENT ... DFONT="Default font name" ...> value.
I uploaded one file (Document-1.sla). This include the Default font: Adobe Garamond Pro Regular (File -- Document Setup -- Item tools -- Text -- Font: Adobe Garamond Pro Regular).
You open the Document-1.sla file. The scribus offers the replace. You enable the substitutions and OK.
Now you check the File -- Document Setup -- Item Tools -- Text -- Font. This include the missing font name (Adobe Garamond Pro Regular)!
You save the document.
Close Scribus.
Open it again the Document-1.sla file: sribus again offers the replace.
Close Scribus.
Open it manually the sla file and modify the DFONT value: DFONT="is an existing font name" and save.
Open the sla file.
Scribus doesn't offer replacement.

even worse is what happens when you click on cancel.
the second time you open the same document no question is asked...

"substitute permanently" checkbox has different meaning then original
poster expect. Checking this box remembers your font substitution fonts
in "Preference > Fonts > Fonts Substitution" section for future use.
Current document will use substitution fonts even without checking this.
Small patch that I included does change 'Default Font' 'DFONT' upon
saving so next time you open document it does not pop up dialog again
(thanks PeterBenedek for finding this detail).

I was unable to figure out why Scribus does not offer dialog after you
press Cancel button first time :(
