[scribus] PDF Export

[Jonathan Bartlett]

I tried hitting the "outline all" button, but no go.  I *think* I'm using
Arial, but it seems the font dialog sometimes defaults to a weird system
font, though I don't think it is actually selecting that font.

Just FYI - the point size I am using is between 150 and 250 points.  I can
send you the source and output files offline if you wish.
