I prepared a cover using some ordinary fonts. Liberation Serif Regular shows up in scribus 1.5.0 and on the cover pdf on my computer. Most fonts are not subsetted. But when the cover was printed for many lines of text all the characters are just rectangles. Scribus finds these fonts (all of the Liberation family) in my home directory in the directory .fonts. But they also appear in /usr/share/fonts. Deja Vu fonts come through OK.
Will subsetting these fonts embed them into the pdf file? Proofs cost money. How can I be sure that the fonts are in the pdf file before I ship it to the printer? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
