Bug Description

PDF is not compatible with arcoread

To reproduce:
-Open new writer Document
-change Font to e. g. Courier Pitch 10
-Write a view lines.
-Export directly as PDF (Button)
-open the created PDF (attached to this report) with acroread (Tested with Version 9.4.2 02/11/2011)
Error Massage of acroread: (Cannot extract the embedded font 'Courier10PitchBT-Roman'...)
PDF looks good for me, but users (might on windows PC) reported that they could not open the PDF.

This is a critical and confusing bug, because e.g. evince opens the PDF fine. So you might think you test the file successfully, but you should test it with acroread too.

Note: Using other Fonts like DejaVu Sans works without error massage by arcoread.
Note: Creating a PDF using Cups-PDF backend using print menu works fine or even better (smaller File size; no font problem)

Thanks for the great job on libreOffice

Regards,
Jonas Bergel
