I've investigated further & the problem remains.
It occurred to me that it was perhaps being caused by importing a text file
&/or that the original import & PDF had been done by OpenOffice  3 ya .
However, apostrophes & extended dashes are mangled as shown above
even when I enter a completely new .odt file.  I've tried changing the font
& using the PDF dialog under 'File', but the bad effect still happens.

This has to be a bug in LO : whatever the characters in the .odt ,
LO sb able to reproduce them correctly in the exported PDF .
It appears that I don't have a bug account with LO, so I've applied for one
& after checking whether anyone else has run into it, will report it.

Any further suggestions by Gentoo users are very welcome.
