I agree, i've not thought about this, and it might be an issue.
I'll look at alternatives designs.

I only have ubuntu default fonts and this is the only one that looks
remotely nice. if you offer me frutiger or helvetica i'll be glad to use
them :)

Anyway i see many issues with the svg->pdf conversion so i'll redo
it in scribus but it won't be done quickly as i also have exams to
study.
