This is not Lubuntu specific as far as I can tell, so I'm unsubscribing Lubuntu Packages Team.

Also, this only happens with that specific commerical font? Could it perhaps be an issue with the font itself?

Download archive with font ( http://casopisy.skauting.cz/download/manual.zip ). Open it by double-click (in Gnome archive manager.)
Files from "manual.zip/pismo/TheMix Basic_CE_Plain_&_Bold/" (TMxCEB7.pfb/.pfb/.afm … ) copy to "/usr/local/share/fonts/myfont".
