Description Lutema 2016-06-02 05:44:57 UTC 
from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1434108
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open Libre Writer and create a new document
2) Type something using the 'TheMix' font from http://www.lucasfonts.com/fonts/themix/themix
3) Export file as PDF.

Expected Results:
- The Libre Writer document should be identically reproduced in PDF format. Characters should be in the same place.

Actual Results:
- In the PDF file, some characters are shifted together. Other characters such as capital letters are replaced by question marks.

Notes:
Confirmed with:
 * Ubuntu 15.04/libreoffice 1:4.4.1-0ubuntu1
Unconfirmed with:
 * 14.04/1:4.2.7-0ubuntu2
 * 15.10/1:5.0.1-0ubuntu1

We can't do anything about it without the font. Font is commercial, so we can't obtain it. Closing.

I looked at the provided font in the Launchpad report in FontForge, and it missed many accented letters. I suspect it is a pirated version or was ripped off a PDF. That would cause the spacing issues.

A newly acquired font family from LucasFonts would be in the OpenType format, anyway.
