Hi<BR>
<BR>
> I've completed my first Scribus document on OS X and went to save it as PDF but none of the fonts will embed. <BR>
There are six fonts in the document from two font families, Eurostile Condensed and Helvetica Neue Condensed, <BR>
all of which are OpenType PS fonts. Research on Google reveals that PDF 1.4 cannot embed OpenType fonts but <BR>
PDF 1.6 can, with outlining generally recommended for preserving the look of the text and not needing the full font <BR>
file(s) included in the PDF. If that's the case, then why ever embed fonts? I'm curious what a professional printing <BR>
service (and experienced Scribus users) prefers when it comes to fonts and PDF output. All comments are welcome, <BR>
and I'll take everything into consideration when doing the final export. Thanks.<BR><BR>
** depending more for what the document is :<BR>
- for web or reading on screen=> fonts embedded<BR>
- for printer or professional edition => outlines<BR>
<BR>
Regards<BR>
