  3) What is expected to happen is when one performs at the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/758676/+attachment/2030473/+files/courier10pitch.odt
  && lowriter -nologo courier10pitch.odt

  Notice the words:

  This line is Courier 10 Pitch.

  has font Courier 10 Pitch.

  Click File -> Export as PDF... -> check the PDF/A-1a checkbox ->
  Export button -> Name: courier10pitch -> click Save button

  Open via the Terminal:

  acroread courier10pitch.pdf

  and it should display correctly.

  4) What happens instead is an Adobe Reader window pops up noting:
  "Cannot extract the embedded font 'Courier10PitchBT-Roman'. Some
  characters may not display or print correctly."

  In place of the words are dots.

  This pdf displays correctly opening with evince and  via importing
  into LibreOffice Draw.

  Unconfirmed Reporter Comments: Okular and xpdf display the file
  correctly.
