On Linux, I'd expect fontconfig to manage the fonts, so indeed paths should not be an issue. I can't tell you off the cuff what could cause such differences, but if replacing the font by itself works there is a subtle difference between the systems as regards fontconfig, that much is sure.
If you still have the original file so you can reproduce the problem, try this. Save a copy of the file as test.sla aand test.sla.orig. Start Scribus, replace the font with itself and save the test.sla without making any other changes. Run a diff using diff -u test.sla.orig test.sla and see what changed. As a side note, if the versions of Scribus differ you may see differences as a result of that. Scribus 1.5.3 completely revamped font handling internally, so that could cause discrepancies. Report back here and we'll see if we can crack this nut!
