I have filed a private bugreport - yes I found it, thanks. (I really thought I had looked all over the page...)
About subsetting: I did read about it in Scribus manual or homepage, of course I can't find it now... But it did say something like: "You can use subsetting reliably except if you send to commercial printer". And now, I begin to understand - and also getting more and more confused! This is a ghostscript-related problem. gs is not involved in creating the pdf. Peter, that bug in ghostscript would explain my problems. But then they say it's corrected in version 8.1+, I have 8.15? Maybe I should file a bugreport to ghostscript about this? I'll try to get more info from my printshop, hope I can find out exactly what they use (gs or ?) even though they are not technicians. About the pdf-viewers: Peter wrote: >>>Anything else it likely to fool a user that there is a defect in >Scribus PDF or EPS export or is missing functionality.

My confusion here is because only kghostview gave me errors, and the file was not printable! So in some way it wasn't a valid pdf - but the reliable viewers did not complain? There is a defect- kghostview doesn't fool me? Maybe it's actually a gs-problem, but then: 1) The ghostscript-bug states there is missing information in the fontfile. To me it sounds like a bad font, which ghostscript can correct. If so, these fonts should not be used I think? 2) Postscript-printers normally don't use gs? This means that the correction ghostscript does (in almost all versions) needs to be done by the printer. Again, to me it sounds as if I should not use these fonts. But I'll be more than happy if I can - I'll lose most of my fonts if not! Small question: Does AcrobatReader use ghostscript? Or does it have it's own interpreter? -- Peter Haraldson peterharaldson at ml1.net -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for. Try it for free
