I would also suggest opening a new, blank document and create some text frames, but use different fonts. So before opening an existing file in 1.4.0 make a copy of it with you file manager (Windows Explorer). Version 1.4.0 can open 1.3.3.14 files, but not the other way around. But having suggested that I must caution you that the file format has changed for 1.4.0. I use it now for production work (but I save often, just in case). I would recommend you install it to take it for a spin. The current development version (1.4.0 RC5) is almost ready to be released as the next stable version.
#SCRIBUS NET HOW TO#
Why and how to make Scribus embed the font instead are the questions.ģ) The version of Scribus you are using is really old.
#SCRIBUS NET PDF#
That your text is not selectable in the PDF is proof that Scribus converted the fonts to outlines. I've done it for years and the text in the PDF is selectable. However, as you have discovered, the text is no longer text and cannot be selected.ġ) Scribus certainly can, and normally does, embed fonts. The advantage is that this eliminates any possibility of the PDF failing to print because of a missing font, plus it makes the PDF file much smaller.
Outline (also "convert to paths"): Convert all the glyphs into vector images. Some PDF creator applications allow you to specify a percentage of the glyphs instead of all the glyphs used in the document. Subset: Place into the PDF every glyph and the font information for them, but only for glyphs actually used in the document. It is unlikely that the fonts you are using have the "do not embed" flag set, but don't rule out the possibility. Adobe did this briefly, but they got yelled at so loudly that they no longer do it. There are tools that can extract an embedded font from a PDF, which is why some developers have set the "do not embed" flag, even some developers of open source fonts. Scribus will recognize that flag and refuse to embed the font, although I think you can override that with Meho's suggestion.Įmbed: Place into the PDF a copy of every glyph contained in the font together with all the font information. Although unusual these days, some fonts contain a "do not embed" flag that the developer added in order to stop piracy. It's not a limitation of Scribus, but it might be a limitation of the font(s) you are using.
