Problem description: 

Running LibreOffice 4.2.4 on a Windows Vista SP2 64 bits with all patches.

When using the freely available Permian fonts (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/foundry/permian-typeface), there are problems when exporting to PDF. Normal printing (real or virtual printers) isn't affected.

There should be noted that those fonts have Preview & Print Embedding allowed, which means they can be "embedded on (PDF/XPS) documents that can be opened only as read-only".

Steps to reproduce the PDF *exporting* problem:
1. Format some characters to use the Permian *Serif* *Bold*;
2. Export to PDF;
3. Open the PDF file.

Current behavior:
The characters formatted as Permian Serif Bold are corrupted and appear as garbage, although normal copying from the PDF is possible.
Operating System: Windows (other)

not reproducible with LibO 4.3.5.2 under Win8.1 x64

@João Paulo
are you still seeing this bug after upgrade to latest LibO release?

Thanks for testing. I will mark the status as WORKSFORME, as we don't know the exact commit that fixed it.

Sorry, I am still learning the terms used on bug tracking.

And sorry for being late on testing, I use LibreOffice at work, but sometimes I miss the bug tracking emails as they are sent to my personal email account (which I rarely use on these times of WhatsApp and Facebook).
