Currently Scribus handles subsetting fonts as converting to vectors.
You can control that behaviour via PDF Export->Fonts.
Furthermore, there's a global option in Preferences->Fonts which 
controls subsetting.
It is on by default for CJK fonts.

In two cases Scribus must unconditionally use subsetting:
* OTF fonts
* Some TTF fonts which don't have proper PS names

That is to be expected for subsetted fonts. We will fix that later 
during 1.3.x development.
