PDF and ODT files

When using accentuated characters in Writer, with Frutiger-Roman type font, for example those used by Brazilian-Portuguese (é, ç, ã, à, ô) PDF exports include bogus characters. See attached ODT and PDF files.

Thank you for your bug report, I cannot reproduce this bug running LibreOffice Version: 4.1.0.4
Build ID: 89ea49ddacd9aa532507cbf852f2bb22b1ace28 on Mac osx 10.8.4. 

maybe it is a Windows only bug ...

Font details are needed to be able to reproduce this bug.

If the font is free, then please provide a link to it (or attach here, if appropriate).

Frutiger Font Type

I'm attaching the Frutiger Font type here ONLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES. Delete it from your system once finished.

Reproducible with all versions starting from 3.3.0.4 to 4.1.0.4; also reproducible with AOO 4.0.

Version 3.3.0.4 produces a PDF that emits an error on opening saying that Reader cannot load the embedded font properly. Other versions create PDFs that don't emit the message. However, all look identical.

If printed to a virtual printer (like PDFill, or MS XPS Writer), the resulting file is OK.
