But raster graphics can only be realistically scaled downward.

All 3 of my viewer programs say that the two fonts are not embedded (the
output from two doesn't look good). The third, acroread substitutes
"Adobe San MM" for both fonts and looks OK.
I use unicode characters in the text (en dash, left and right
double-quotes come to mind). Fully embedding a font is about 250 KB in
the PDF. Then I have 2 MB of images (PNG file sizes). When I changed
one image from 700+ dpi to 450, the same size difference in the PNG file
was seen in the PDF.
I'm using Scribus to layout the pamphlet and create the PDF.
