You have to explicitly tell it to do so, using the Fonts tab on the PDF Export dialog. The font that gave me trouble (Book Antiqua) can be embedded. The problem is that it's not embedded by default, and if you want it embedded you have to specify this every time you do an export. This would be better handled as a Preferences option that you set just once. Then you could just "blindly" create your PDF without creating "issues" that need to be "looked into."<br>
<br>
I sent an email to the scribus-dev list, to suggest having this added to the Preferences. Hoping for a more helpful response there.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I've just joined the Scribus list, although I've been using Scribus for<br>
several months now. It's a great package! I have one suggestion for<br>
improving the package: I think that there should be a Preferences<br>
setting to automatically embed fonts when doing a PDF export. As it is<br>
now in 1.4.6, you have to remember to specify this every time you do an<br>
export. It seems like an obvious candidate for a Preferences setting,<br>
under the PDF Export category in Preferences.<br>
<br>
I only use Scribus about once a month or so, and it's easy to forget<br>
this step. The resulting PDF will look fine on my machine, since I have<br>
all the fonts that I used, but the fonts will get changed when viewed on<br>
a different machine that doesn't have them.<br>

I think the default behavior is to try to embed or subset fonts, but<br>
some fonts cannot be embedded. We also see instances<br>
where a font must be outlined.<br>
<br>
Aside from this, one of the skills of making PDFs is not to just blindly<br>
create them without looking at these issues.<br>
