Alvin, while I was able to reproduce the error message in Adobe Reader exporting the attached courtier10pitch.odt file to PDF using LibreOffice Writer (please see attached screenshot.png), I was unable to reproduce the dots where the letters were as per your courier10pitch.pdf attachment displays.

Could you please provide detailed, step-by-step instructions on exactly how to create the PDF document so the dots show?

Procedure to reproduce the error message but not the dots:

Ubuntu 11.04 LibreOffice Writer via 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... -> Name: courier10pitch2 -> click Save button

Open via the Terminal:

acroread courier10pitch2.pdf

Adobe Reader window pops up noting: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'Courier10PitchBT-Roman'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."

Despite this one may see the fonts fine. This pdf opens in evince fine and importing via Draw works fine as well.
