Based on my TeX experience relying on these core fonts yields uncertain results. I prefer to embed even these. And yes, my Scribus files seem to be eating growth pills just like everyone else's. On one project (an e-book on using Scribus for book covers) I had to revert to using TeX just to get the file down to the size required by my on-line e-book vendor. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
