Thank you, Urs.
The PDF viewer doesn't say anything about embedded fonts. xpdf's
only output is:
Error: No paper information available - using defaults
But your question gave me a clue, thank you. Checking with
pdffonts shows that the font is not being embedded in the PDF.
But Lilypond doesn't give any indication of why not.
Lilypond (Ghostscript) does embed the Air Conditioner font:
$ pdffonts pdf-test-air.pdf
Error: No paper information available - using defaults
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
SOQTHG+AirConditioner TrueType yes yes yes 10 0
GMBMHT+CenturySchL-Roma TrueType yes yes yes 8 0
WRKREI+Emmentaler-20 Type 1C yes yes no 13 0
But not the JazzText font:
$ pdffonts pdf-test.pdf
Error: No paper information available - using defaults
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
GMBMHT+CenturySchL-Roma TrueType yes yes yes 8 0
WRKREI+Emmentaler-20 Type 1C yes yes no 13 0
JazzText-Regular TrueType no no yes 10 0
The Scribus test PDF I created does have the JazzText font
embedded:
$ pdffonts /tmp/test.pdf
Error: No paper information available - using defaults
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
JazzText-Regular TrueType yes no no 20 0
JazzText-Regular TrueType yes no yes 14 0
JazzText-Regular TrueType yes no yes 18 0
pdfinfo gives a clue: the 'Producer' attribute in the PDFs say
that Scribus uses its own PDF library, whereas LilyPond of course
uses Ghostscript, hence the difference in behaviour. Now I know
why this is happening.
So for the immediate purposes of testing and seeing how the font
looks, I'll use the workaround of importing EPS into Scribus for
the time being.
Thanks again, Urs.
