I'm using Scribus to make a book cover for a book on Lulu. Lulu is very picky. I've run into the problem that the PDFs made by Scribus (PDF 1.3 and X/3 using Scribus 1.3.3.11 Build ID: C-C-T-F-A on Ubuntu Hardy). Lulu objects that Helvetica is not embedded. I've tried embedding it, but to no avail. Lulu LOVES Adobe Distiller - in fact requires it, I think for electronic distribution - so I thought I just pump out a ps and then get a windows machine to distill it. HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Scribus ignores the odd size of the cover (landscape, 12.7 inches x 9.25 inches) and prints it portrait on 8 1/2 x 11, truncating the image. (Did this both via export as eps and also printing to ps file.) I cannot find any controls to set page size for eps or ps printing; googling "hints" this is some kind of CUPS problem. Any advice then on these two items:
a) Getting Scribus to embedded proper "base-14 fonts) (see http://desktoppub.about.com/od/glossary/g/base14fonts.htm for info on base-14) b) Getting Scribus to print a non-standard sized ps file correctly --Bill
