Dialogue to embed fonts with some setting referred to in the bug report

The hints pointed me to this possibility of which I was unaware before. I already had experiences that documents written under Windows do not look the same when they are seen with LibreOffice under Linux if the document uses Courier Font (TwlgMono would be a replacement, but that is not available under Windows, if the document will be read there). 

Would embedding the font be the right thing?

Or is there something else to globally tell LO to use TwlgMono instead of Courier 10 Pitch which is not present in my Xubuntu 18.04?

The offered online help at https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/01/prop_font_embed.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=sfx/ui/documentfontspage/DocumentFontsPage#bm_id3154926 does not tell about it? 

Also I do not understand the difference between the topmost two check boxes: 

If they are set as in the attachment: Will the used fonts be embedded or do I have to check the box above it in addition?

I believe it is about fonts for complext text layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_text_layout
