Problem embedding fonts in pdf and workaround

Just this week, my copy of Scribus 1.4.6 (the most recent version provided for Fedora 31) failed to embed the three fonts needed to render my newsletter correctly. No matter what I did, it would only embed the highlighted one, and if I tried to embed a different font, it would simply replace the listed font with that one. And, as I use Linux, and the person printing it out has Windows, his machine had to make substitutions. No only were its choices bad, they rendered very pale, which is, I presume, an artifact of his computer and OS. Last night, I made an experiment: I made a new pdf of that file, but instead of embedding the fonts, I outlined them and sent it off. Not only did that work, it lowered the size of the file from almost 650 KB to 47 KB, when I'd have expected the opposite. In the future, I'll be outlining fonts, because I'm old enough to remember when bandwidth was rare and expensive, and still hate using it up for no good reason. ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
