When I create a docuement with LibreOffice, just for testing, and export it
to pdf the font names look different:
kfir at goofy /tmp $ pdffonts test.pdf
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
BAAAAA+DavidCLM-Medium               TrueType          yes yes yes      9  0
kfir at goofy /tmp $ pdffonts test1.pdf
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
BAAAAA+ArialMT                       TrueType          yes yes yes      9  0

Does the name counts?
