Description Tom 2014-08-15 18:37:18 UTC 
This issue may not be related to LibreOffice in particular but only to the type 1 font "Nimbus Roman No9 L" that I often use as a standard replacement for "Times". Anyhow, maybe someone can help to resolve this issue:

Whenever I export a text document, that uses the font "Nimbus Roman No9 L", with LO Writer via "File -> Export as pdf ...", in the resulting pdf file any blank that separates subsequent words from each other is removed.

When I print into a PostScript file instead and afterwards convert that file via ps2pdf (ghostscript 9.06) into a pdf file, the blanks are correctly displayed.

Interestingly, I have not observed this effect for other fonts (see example attached). Finally, I 'd like to add that I already noticed this issue under LO 4.2.5.2.

Maybe you can help me to resolve it?

Thanks
Tom

Could not embed the fonts because of the size limitation.

Caused by local font installation
