sorry – i can't see those black squares in your file. |

Your issue is likely an old Adobe Acrobat issue which triggers some characters to display bolder than they should be. This Adobe issue manifests itself especially when fonts are outlined or embedded as Type 3 fonts in PDFs. Adobe issue, not Scribus issue. The 1.5.x development branch circumvent this Adobe issue by using different font embedding mechanisms. |
