[Tony Shaughnessy <758676@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

Up until about a month ago, I had this exact same problem. I created a
document in LibreOffice, and exported it as a pdf. The pdf would display
fine on my Ubuntu machine, and also on an Apple. However, when sent to a
Windows machine, it reported the same bug (see screengrab attached).

This was a huge hassle for me, as I had been sending my CV to various
employers in pdf format (as this can look relatively impressive) only to
be very embarassed when they contacted me back saying that they couldn't
read it, but only got a series of dots.

Awesome work guys,

Ryan.

  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.
