Created attachment 64111
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=64111
Another test kit, confirming that the bug is reproducible with Writer on
Windows

This bug is not limited to MacOS X; it is reproducible in the same way with
LibreOffice 3.5.4.2, German UI, on Windows XP.

The attachmend contains again:
* an .odt document with lines of text including em-dashes in different fonts,
* a Windows screenshot which shows that all em-dashes look OK in LibreOffice,
* and an PDF file created on Windows XP showing again that every em-dash,
  which uses a font in .otf format, is converted to an en-dash in the PDF file.

NB: to view the .odt files in both of my test kits, you may need to install
(some of) the fonts which I have used. This should be no problem, because many
of them are freely available on the web (see the list in my original
description above); just be sure to install the .otf version of these fonts
(some of them are also available in other formats). If you have any problems to
get the fonts to test with just contact me. But even without installing the
fonts, everybody can compare the PDF files with the screenshots ;-)
