I apologize for making it 101, or so :-). It's the first time it impacts our 
work.

But is this a Scribus issue or a font issue? These fonts are used with other 
programs for real work and I heard no complaints so far.

Yes, it does but we need a version for on-screen viewing.

Again, is this a matter of how Scribus outlines the font? Since the font is 
outlined the source of the problem seems not to be Adoba Reader, right?


Thanks!
