Slide 4 rendering after installing font (4.0.3.3/OS X 10.9.4)

Hilarious symptom indeed. The bug persists to 4.3.0.3 (aka RC3) on OS X. I
cannot confirm if and what happens on Windows (at the moment), but I wouldn't
be surprised if it doesn't look right. After downloading and installing Courier
10 Pitch through Font Book, I get the expected appearance (see attachment for
example).

Now, it should be possible to include Courier 10 Pitch with LibreOffice for
Windows and OS X: the Fonts section of the license file would just need to
updated with the copyright message from Bitstream.
Courier 10 Pitch, and possibly other fonts, are not exactly "readily available"
to casual users, at least without having to purchase a license or come across
the efforts of a community member
(https://groups.google.com/d/topic/trelby/CGkpcMBXW9U/discussion); nor is
manually installing fonts an everyday task. At the same time, distributing it
may inadvertently pass the issue further down when someone uses Courier 10
Pitch under good faith but then hands their file off to someone without it. Yet
it is seems to still be included with many Linux distributions, often alongside
Liberation Mono (the substitute for Courier New). I would seek additional
opinions…
