Summary0009478: Weird TT font subsetting
DescriptionWhen printing to a PS printer or exporting PostScript, Scribus claims to subset "big" fonts like TrueType or OpenType fonts.

But in fact this subsetting is implemented as converting the selected glyphs to paths which makes the output unusable but for plain printing.

As Scribus claims to use freetype 2 as the basic font machinery, it should use the incremental font handling provided by freetype 2
Steps To Reproduceexport a document containing at least one text frame with some text typset using a TT font, say, Arial.
