I have done some discoveries with help from the Spanish list and a many
hours testing.
First, OOo does use a plain "Times" font when under compatibility options
(writer section) I click on "use printer metrics" or something like that.
It is classified as a "printer font".
In SuSE 10.1 this is converted in the PDF file to the internal
"Times-Roman", not embedded. However, in 10.2 this fails.
I think this is a bug of OO: I will report this in more detail tomorrow,
time permitting.
