I'm about to reset a book, and want to avoid the problem I had with the last book, where I didn't realise Calibri was not embeddable (HUGE file and the printers couldn't make minor edits).

So, can anyone recommend (or point me to a list) a good serif body-text typeface which can be embedded or subsetted? I'll be working on Linux and/or Mac.

Times New Roman ?

Calibri's embeddig setting is 'Editable embedding allowed'

FYI: It turned out to be the following issue: Opentype fonts cannot be embedded in PDF versions lower than 1.6. Scribus only offers support for 1.3 - 1.5, but the latest version includes PDF/X-3, which allows (nay, requires) embedding - fingers crossed that that will work. Yje new book is in inDesign, which should be less problematic.

I use PDFCreator 0.9.3 that create PDF V 1.4 and I don't have problem with textes using OTF.
