There is a special tab in the Export-to-PDF window which is dedicated to
fonts. It gives all the options available. (Gregory has already
explained that because of license issues, some options might not be
available. This depends on your fonts-philosophy and/or budget.)

So yes, if you use a font where you have the necessary rights, you can
chose to leave out the font, to embed or to outline. Or even to mix the
options, selecting font by font.

We like this very much, as we are working with an "exotic" language and
most of our readers would not be able to show or print, unless we
outline. Our Unicode fonts also happen to be very large as they cater
for many languages, so outlining in our context even reduces file size!!


So from our perspective Scribus is giving great options. And it is not
about "avoiding" to outline or not. It is about choices.

way to go!
