--- Comment #10 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
A search of the Adobe forums, or Google, for the string "Cannot extract the
embedded font" will show this is a long running issue with Acrobat with
multiple PDF generators, including multiple Adobe products. Adobe has patched
Acrobat/Reader for embedded font issues--composite characters for example.

IMHO Adobe is risk adverse regards font licensing so it is conservative with
handling font embedding in PDF, believe their filters are overly sensitive when
reading PDF compared to other viewers.

LibreOffice has reworked its PDF generator compared to earlier OpenOffice
derivatives, so do not expect similar behavior there.

Will poke at this some more, and if it is specific to a block of Unicode
glyphs, like "General Punctuation" holding NNBS, for specific font
producers--could require an issue opened with Adobe. Or for in this case with
Redhat for a rebuild of the bundled Liberation fonts.

@Miklos, any thought on a direction for this specific bug?
