Title: Scribus says fonts are embedded, KDP says it ain't so
Post by: ThomB on May 23, 2025, 09:51:51 PM
I used Scribus 1.4.8 to do my book cover, and in the process, embedded JSL Ancient and Helvetica and Perpetua (though I did not use Helvetica at all) but when I uploaded it to KDP for my book, the kicked it back saying the used fonts were not embedded. I went ahead and did it again, but I'm sure it'll be the same response, since I'm using the same fonts and the same software. Does anybody have any guidance on this? TIA

Adobe Acrobat also says the fonts are embedded, so I'm leaning towards KDP being bitches.

Just convert text to curves/outlines, and then export to pdf.
