Calc test kit

And this bug is not limited to PDF export from Writer -- it is also present in
Calc. Attached you will find a ZIP file containing:

* a simple Calc spreadsheet (.ods) containing samples of different fonts;
* a screenshot made with LibO 3.5.5.3 on MacOS X 10.6.8,
  showing that LibO displays all fonts correctly, including the em-dashes;
* PDF files created from the Calc file with LibO 3.5.5.3 and 3.6 beta 3,
  which both show that all em-dashes with fonts in .otf format
  become en-dashes + following empty space in the PDF export.

Again, the most impressive lines are the ones comparing the output from Linux
Biolinum G to Linux Biolinum O and Linux Libertine G to Linux Libertine O:
while the lines in the G fonts (.ttf + Graphite) contain correct em-dashes, the
lines in the O fonts (.otf fonts) are almost identical, only that the em-dashes
become en-dashes.
