I exported to pdf the
test2.odt listed in
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/244353/comments/28>
in (U)OOo 3.1:
$ cat /usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc
[Version]
AllLanguages=en-US
BuildVersion=openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1, Thu Oct 22 20:13:41
UTC 2009
buildid=310m19(Build:9420)
ExtensionUpdateURL=http://updateext.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
OOOBaseVersion=3.1
ProductBuildid=9420
ProductMajor=310
ProductMinor=19
ProductSource=OOO310
UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US
UpdateURL=
UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT> (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH};
BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages})
Vendor=Debian and Ubuntu

and got garbage fonts in the output. See: Test2UOOo.pdf

I then opened the doc
in standard OOo 3.1:
$ cat /opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc
[Version]
AllLanguages=en-US
buildid=310m19(Build:9420)
ExtensionUpdateURL=http://updateext.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
OOOBaseVersion=3.1
ProductBuildid=9420
ProductMajor=310
ProductMinor=19
ProductSource=OOO310
UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US
UpdateURL=http://update32.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=deb
UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT> (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH};
BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages})

and the export was also wrong, see: Test2standardOOo.pdf

But then tested from standard OOo (s)OOo again and the export was fine, see: Test2standardOOo2.pdf

I've since tried to reproduce in (U)OOo and (s)OOo and have not been able to do so. I notice in the Test2UOOo.pdf and Test2standardOOo.pdf files that DejaVuSeriff-italic font is included. The pdf files without issue do not include these. So perhaps it's a DejaVu font issue?

Also note that printing to a cups-pdf printer and/or to a ps file produces a correct pdf. But given that the bug is not reliably reproducable this should only be taken as a "maybe"?
