--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
LibreOffice is not a PDF editor.

If the font used in a PDF is not "installed" to the system opening (PDF import)
the PDF it will receive a font fall-back to what is available on the system.

When inserted as an image, the PDF will be read for the exact glyphs used in
the PDF and those will be rendered as a bitmap.

We do this because the fonts "embedded" into a PDF are generally not complete
so we do not attempt to extract them for use.  Not an issue as LibreOffice is
*not*a PDF editor. And its filter imports of PDF can be useful to work with,
but have inherent limitations.  Font handling is one of them.
