Since attached files do not get saved with this email list, I tried 
using your email's text to see what happens.

I tried both Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum [14 point] on my 3.5.7 
version for Ubuntu 64-bit.  I cannot replicate the issue with "added" 
characters.

Could you tell up which OS and version you are using, plus the "exact" 
name of the font[s] shown up in the font windows of LO.

ALSO
please try some other PDF generation methods.  For Windows, us the doPDF 
printer-driver-line software, or CUPS-PDF for Linux.  See if those type 
of "Print" to PDF file packages give you the same issues. If they do, 
then is it not the "export-to-pdf" part of LO, but some other rendering 
issues.

Also, see if your media printed version [i.e. print on paper] give the 
same extra characters.
