 From the time now, there is no way in Scribus to directly 
generate a colour-separated PDF file.

I don't get how you print your plates? Do you have to go 
wiyh a PDF file or can't you directly print the plate with 
the ps file?

What kind of RIP are you using?


Apart from that, have you tried to outline all these poor 
fonts? Maybe GhostScript wouldn't blow up then?
