A single font can be 15-20 MB in size, if you only use 1/10th of<br>the glyphs in the font, why embed the whole font? Ten fonts of that size<br>would make the PDF 150 MB larger.<br><br>Also a PDF can not contain all types of fonts, I think for example OTF is<br>one exception (there is a page on the wiki about this). In that case<br>Scribus will have to convert the font, and I think this may look just like<br>a subset font.<br><br>So subsetting does not prevent the PDF from printing correctly, it may<br>however affect the possibilities to do edits to the PDF.<br><br>In "the old days" the printer used to do "last minute edits" of the PDF<br>before printing (because the PDF was delivered on a CD-ROM or zip-disk by<br>regular mail, so it could take a day or two to send a new PDF), but today<br>it's generally better if you do the edit yourself (because you can send a<br>new PDF to the printer in minutes).<br><br>/Peter<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20150421/c9e9fce6/attachment.html><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Subject: Digest Footer<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>scribus mailing list<br>scribus@lists.scribus.net<br>http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>End of scribus Digest, Vol 85, Issue 12<br>***************************************<br><br></blockquote><br>
