--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Please note in attachment 151381 that the font "JustAnotherHandular" is
detected as not installed to system (indicated by the font's name entry on the
Properties tab showing in italics)--and so a fallback font gets assigned. 

On this particular system Windows 10 system "VinerHandITC" present on system
was used as fallback. Not clear the mechanics of the auto-selection fallback,
some sense of FontType and metrics is determined. And, looks like the vinerhand
is the last Substitute font for FontType Handwriting [1].

But, rather than a chance selection, user can assign the replacement font(s)
for all glyphs held in the PDF, even the rare fully embedded font--that
LibreOffice will ignore.

Done from the Tools -> Options -> Fonts "Replacement Table", where the font
reported as used but missing can be entered and a replacement to users liking
selected.

So, while annoying. LibreOffice filter import "open" of PDF behaves correctly.

When Font is not available to render text--it picks another. User can control
what font the resulting Draw Text objects will display. User can also change
the font for the Draw text object--supporting editing of the document based on
the PDF.

Work on bug 61134 and bug 78186 will eventually make this more efficient.

But at present this works as designed and is NOT A BUG
