--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
This is expected when the Draw filter import of PDF reads out the font names as
recorded.  It does not occur when the PDF is inserted--different filter, that
just reads the layout of the PDF and renders to image.

But a simple to work around when filter importing to Draw if there is a font
with close metrics actually installed  on the system.  Obviously the font you
need is in MS Core Fonts (ttf-mscorefonts) as "Times New Roman". 

Just use the Tools -> Options -> Fonts replacement table to assign an existing
font for the fontname as recorded in the PDF and listed in the Properties deck
for a text selection.  

I.e.  for a PDF text run listing "TimesNewRoman" that is not available on
system and so shows in italics just substitute "Times New Roman" with is with
the MS Core Fonts. Likewise for "TimesNewRomanPS".

Alternatively the Liberation Serif fonts should closely match metrics, and you
can use those as replacement as well.
