Firstly, you'll be using 1.3.3.12 as far I remember (which is fine) with 
Ubuntu Karmic (unless you've added the newer packages from Malex's 
repository (not a bad idea to do)) .

You may also want to check in Document Setup, how your font is setup, ie 
whether its ticked for Subset or not, and with Embed in Postscript (I'm 
not sure why is termed as that). Shouldn't this make more sense as 
'Embedded in PDF' ??

These settings select whether you're allowed to subset or just outline 
fonts in the PDF production.

Nice to see other users in the UK using Scribus !
