Alvin, confirmed using Ubuntu 11.04, LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/758676/+attachment/2030473/+files/courier10pitch.odt && lowriter -nologo courier10pitch.odt

Notice the words:

This line is Courier 10 Pitch.

has font Courier 10 Pitch.

Click File -> Export as PDF... -> check the PDF/A-1a checkbox -> Export button -> Name: courier10pitch -> click Save button

Open via the Terminal:

acroread courier10pitch.pdf

Adobe Reader window pops up noting: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'Courier10PitchBT-Roman'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."

In place of the words are dots. Both opening in evince and importing via Draw show the words.
