[Scribus] Linux's font system

[wtb41]

The Mac system as I understand it handles fonts far more simply than Linux.
The Mac
system puts all of its system fonts in one folder--the System/Fonts folder.
Scribus tells 
me that the system fonts on my Linux box are in 8 separate folders. Can you
please 
explain to me the reason for 8 folders rather than 1 folder?
