OOo, LibO, Symphony, Word, Abiword, Koffice and so on are tools for
editing documents and not for keeping viewing *and* printing fidelity.
For such purpose you should use desktop publishing software which has a
complete different approach (i.e. Inkscape).

Also for PDF, embedding fonts is an option. Only for PDF-A it's mandatory.

Yes. By embedding your fonts if you want to be *reasonable* sure that
you will open the file and obtain a similar result in the future.

If you want to be *more sure* export it in PDF-A which is a subset of PDF.

You must be persuaded that there is a trade off. You can't use a
microwave oven to dry your cat.
