As previously mentioned, if the're OTF then Scribus can't do true subsets of them yet (IIRC because it was found to be unreliable with a variety of older RIPs etc). They'll be looking bad in Adobe Reader because it won't be smoothing line-art. Enable that option and things should look fine (they'll print fine too, with or without smooth line art on). >> All I want is one serif and one sans-serif font that will work properly in >> regular, bold, and italic. >> > > You should try not to embed Times New Roman or Arial at all.

Given that PDF has accurate character placement even with slightly different fonts, I'm not really sure why, but they often do. -- Craig Ringer
