As for me i regularly have about the same issue, but that is allways my fault : i forgot to embed all used fonts. Most of the time, i've done it once, while preparing the output, but then i add some more text using a new font and then i forgot to do it *once more* before exporting to PDF the upgraded version of the document.
My guess is that this is the most common reason why printers have a bad opinion of scribus. :-( As for now, so as to avoid this, i use a shell script that checks whether all used fonts are embeded : https://github.com/JLuc/scribus-project-manager/blob/master/slacheckfonts But then i must not forgot to use it allways before each pdf export ! It'd be much better when scribus would include this check in the preflight checker. So, true, scribus could do better : http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10770 Preflight checker could provide an option that would go "check that all used fonts are either embeded or outlined in the PDF export".
