Summary0009346: Inconsistent sorting of fonts in dialogs
DescriptionThe sorting of fonts in Scribus is inconsistent between dialogs, which can become quite inconvenient when a large number of fonts is installed on a computer:

Purely Alphabetical
- Preferences/DocSetup > (item) Tools: alphabetical
- Font substitution dialog (brought up when loading a doc): alphabetical

Alphabetical with Uppercase fist
(e.g. AMS Medium is listed before Adobe Sans,
CMU Serif before Caslon Roman,
Zapfino Italic before "the dead saloon regular")
- Preferences/DocSetup > Fonts > Available Fonts/Font Substitution
- Extras > Font Preview
- PP > Text
- Style Editor (F3)

I have only a pair of font that might be concerned by this bug, but they seem to be ok.

0011461 that kunda is linking seems not to be an issue anymore.
it might be that we are using a standard Qt algorithm that has been fixed nowadays.

we need somebody who has fonts with matching names, otherwise, if nobody can replicate, i suggest to close the ticket.
