I'm not really trying to use LibreOffice as a PDF viewer. I have quite a few
multi-page PDF documents that I want to edit with LibreOffice Draw to remove
some personal information. After editing each document, I want to export it
back to a PDF. I need the text in the exported PDF to have the same styles
(bold, italic, etc.) as the original PDF. I don't want to have to determine
which text in the original document was italicized and manually change the text
style to be italicized in LibreOffice Draw before exporting as PDF; that's too
much manual effort.
I have tried to use the font substitution feature in LibreOffice to substitute
the HelveticaOblique font with another font, but I have not been successful in
getting the font substitution to apply the italic/oblique style.
Being that LibreOffice Draw handles Helvetica-Bold correctly by using the
Helvetica font family and the bold style, I think that LibreOffice Draw should
be able to handle Helvetica-Oblique correctly by using the italic style. That's
why I think this is a bug.
I'll try to show how Helvetica Bold and Helvetica Oblique are handled
inconsistently in LibreOffice Draw by attaching two screen shots.</pre>
