cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1102095/+attachment/3490831/+files/bug.odt && lowriter --nologo bug.odt

export to PDF, open in Adobe Reader and it looks the same as it does in Writer.

4) What happens instead is some of the characters overwrite previous ones.

An example

Using "Latin Modern Roman 10" font when I export an odt file to a pdf some characters overwrite the previous. I expect that the pdf looks the same as it does in Writer.
