Dear Joe, thank you for sharing. For sending to a commercial print-shop and for laser-printing in-house, we always outline all fonts and have never had isses. We often add "PR" to the file-name of the very lastest, print-ready version and of course keep the Scribus file for potential later editing or additional print-runs.
Hinting and searching are no issues in that context. And the fact that a print-shop cannot edit, is our "insurance" against mistakes, as we are dealing with an African minority language, and print-shops are never qualified to change even punctuation for our orthography. For many years I use version 1.5 which behaves very very well and always keep version 1.4 on my machines for looking at older files and for re-using old elements by copy and paste. Go Scribus!
