Hi, Based on the IRC chat from earlier today.. Sorry, I was sleeping. :) The limitations of fonts in PDF fields is somewhat determined by: 1. the PDF version 2. available fonts locally on the reader's machine *and* using local font must be enabled in the Acrobat Reader. As you mentioned, you are running under 64bit and there is no upgrade to 1.3.3.4/1.3.3.5 possible. I know both Debian, Fedora and Suse all offer 64-bit versions of Scribus for 1.3.3.x, otherwise you will need to compile the sources yourself. On http://debian.scribus.net there are notes on doing this in a build root. What you want to accomplish can *only* be done in 1.3.3.x. and PDF 1.5+ In 1.2.x it is simply not possible.
