Edwardian font doesn't work for me either when embedded in PDF, as well as other fonts. In Scribus, I used the: Script / Scribus script / FontSample menu item to check which fonts were OK in PDF. The script takes a long time to execute without visual clue whether it's running or hanged. Just be patient. Optional : In Scribus preferences I later removed all the fonts which were not working.
