Scribus download fails11/11/2022 Still, what harm would it make to handle the page info font exactly the same way as other fonts in the document, other than slightly increasing the file size? Print24 ( ) uses 100% automatic preflight and quality checks in order to keep prices down. * I understand your point about the base 14 fonts. I don't know if it is related, but I think so. In Adobe Reader on the same machine, it it substituted with Adobe Sans MM (see attachements scribus-evince.png and scribus-adobereader.png). * The page info font does not render correctly in Evince on my Linux box. Re-embedding them was trivial for me and I will upload your file which I have re-embedded ArialMT as a replacement for Helvitca soon.īig thanks for your clarifications regarding the PDF/X spec and for running the file through PitStop. I know as I have had to force Distiller to embed some of these fonts owing to different metrics because of cross-platform issues. In fact, the defaults for Acrobat Distiller do not embed them either - even when using 'pre-press' settings. #SCRIBUS DOWNLOAD FAILS PDF#That said, any printer worth their salt should have PitStop Professional which can re-embed the fonts, especially the base14 - even if strictly speaking *no* PDF should need to embed them. This is all clearly defined in the PDF specs. Thus, Scribus normall does not embed Helvetica or any other base font if its not within the page box which defines the area to actually be printed. This is a normally sane choice as *by definition*, any PDF viewing application should have Helvetica or Arial along with the other 'base 14' fonts. #SCRIBUS DOWNLOAD FAILS PRO#I inspected this with PitStop Pro and found that indeed Helvetica is not embedded. I see the issue and in this case, the printer is being a bit too pedantic IMO. Are you seriously suggesting I should include Helvetica dummy text in a page in order to work around a bug in Scribus? I do not think using Helvetica in the page area only in order to have it included is an option - it's way too hackish. I Scribus won't allow me to send files that the printer accepts, I won't be using Scribus any more. If I recall correctly, they use ApogeeX from Agfa. Their PDF preflight system would simply not accept my files unless I removed the page info. Note that the complaint originally came from the printer, not from me. the page info font should be embedded when all other fonts are embedded, and outlined when other fonts are outlined. I think that whatever font that is used for the Page information text should respect the font handling settings that are used for other fonts in the document, i.e. The font is used by Scribus to print the document name, folio and date. Helvetica only appears in Page info space added by Scribus to accomodate for the print marks.
