--- Comment #14 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
AFAIU, we do not use the few glyphs stored in the PDF because it's not a
complete font and editing wont be possible. Makes sense to me. If the PDF
contains the whole font we should use it, on the other hand.

I suggest to show an infobar if a font was not shipped with the PDF. Something
like "Fonts in this document have been replaced. For full editing capabilities
please ask the original author to embed the whole font." 
(Me concerns the list of bugs in c0 regarding the issue.)

And we should provide options to export the font because it's our mission to
make documents readable cross-platform and cross-applications. According [1]
the open font spec knows: No embedding, Print and preview, Editable,
Installable. And MSO allows to save fonts respectively.
