PDF created in OOo-1.1.0 that has unreadable "box" fonts

*** Bug 143913 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

It seems like a font issue when creating PDFs in OpenOffice.org. If we use the
Bitstream Vera fonts, we get boxes and the PDFs aren't correct, however, if we
use a font like "Helvetica", it seems to create PDFs without any issue. I'm
managed to repeat this successfully with gpdf that's in Fedora Core 2
(gpdf-0.131-2).

Maybe the PDf-Version is the problem. 
PDFs created by OO are tagged with version 1.4 (open in gpdf,
File-Properties-Version). The attachment posted by gatto has also that
pdf-version. All those have unreadalbe box-fonts.

But: All my documents I created with PDF-Creator under M$-WIN are working with
gpdf. Those pdfs have pdf-version 1.3

(Using Debian sid, GNOME 2.6, gPDF 0.131)

I didn't check the Helvetica vs. anything else idea. Helvetica is treated in a
special way in PDF viewers, so that might have helped.

It's not the PDF version. PDF 1.4 viewer can display most PDF 1.5 files, except
some very esoteric features that I can't remember.

Anyway. Works in CVS HEAD now.
