Hi all,
So I just finished typesetting a 137pp. book, 6"x9". It's fairly illustration-heavy, but it's all single-color vector line art. The total .sla file size is only 14Mb.
Now, my question is this--I exported to PDF/X-3 and was not given the option of embedding my fonts (all four in the Univers family, all TrueType fonts). Instead, it converted all the text to outlines. When I tried adding the fonts to the 'embed' column, they jumped straight to the 'outline' column.
That seemed to work fine on my Mac, as I was able to open it quickly and easily with the native Preview. However, when I brought it to my office to print on a PC, Adobe Acrobat was barely able to even open it: it seemed to be laboring with the complexity of the file. Likewise, when I sent the file off to the print shop to run a proof, I was told their computer was freezing when the file was opened.
Any thoughts here? Is font embedding limited or unavailable in Scribus? Are there any work-around ideas?
Any help much appreciated.
Jon
