I don't know where this font came from but since Scribus works fine with my other fonts, I assume it is a problem with the font, so a bug report is not welcome? Still, I am puzzled by how it can be that the font looks fine on screen when I compose the text in Scribus, but the exported PDF switches all the characters around. Note: I was able to generate a correct PDF using this same font in MS Publisher (Print to Adobe PDF 'printer' device). For that PDF, Acrobat 7 in Document Properties/Fonts says: EdwardianScriptITC (Embedded Subset) Type: TrueType Encoding: Ansi ...whereas with the Scribus-exported (and messed-up) PDF, Acrobat 7 Document Properties/Fonts says: EdwardianScriptITC (Embedded) Type: TrueType Encoding: Custom Is something about "Ansi" vs "Custom" font encoding that is at issue? Is one or both of these programs re-encoding the font? I know nothing about font programming. I am just reporting this in case it helps anyone else.
