I've exported the LModern Type1 font from the Ubuntu "lmodern" package to the TrueType format (with instructions from http://www.vromans.org/johan/OOo/oofonts03.html). When using this TTF export, the "ê" character is correctly exported to PDF and printed.
I can't reproduce that (though those fonts not installed), PDF export show same result as odt file. Perhaps it's been fixed. LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit) LO 3.6.6.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit)
I can't reproduce it either, with LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 from Ubuntu 13.04. I've tried exporting the same ODT file to PDF with the same fonts package installed (lmodern), it works now.
I am astonished this has been released with the last version since this bug makes the software barely usable as it is. Here a screenshot of what is missing (essentially é,è, à and ê UTF8 chars). Only the Nimbus family font seems concerned as far as my testing goes. Here a screenshot made with the 5.1.1.3 libreoffice version and the Archlinux rolling release operating system. http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1458485366.png
