Hi again, I received a new message from the printer: > Your fonts are embedded in PDF not as full font information but only > as so called "subset". Until now we have considered PDF like that as > not perfect for printing.
They updated their printer software and it seems that they can work with it now. But I still wonder what the difference is. Is Scribus producing a PDF with less information (subset) than ID or other DTP software (full font information)? Or is this just one printer's opinion? Or is this a result of using TT-fonts, versus other fonts (OTF, PS-Type-1, ...)? Thanks for your help.
