[scribus-dev] Embedding fonts in a PDF file

I've just joined the Scribus list, although I've been using Scribus for 
several months now. It's a great package!   I have one suggestion for 
improvement: I think that there should be a Preferences setting to 
automatically embed fonts when doing a PDF export.  As it is now in 
1.4.6, you have to remember to specify this every time you do an export. 
It seems like an obvious candidate for a Preferences setting, under the 
PDF Export category in Preferences.

I only use Scribus about once a month or so, and it's easy to forget 
that I need to go to the Fonts tab in the PDF Export dialog every time I 
do an export.  If I forget to do it, the resulting PDF will look fine on 
my machine, since I have all the fonts that I used, but the fonts will 
get changed when viewed on a different machine that doesn't have them.  
It ends up being a time waster for both me and the folks who need to use 
my PDF outputs.  I'd like to just set this once and forget about it.


Thanks!
