PDF exported from ODT on Windows

When exporting an ODT file to PDF using headless mode on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and LO 4.2.7.2 or 4.3.4.1, there is a sginificant discrepancy in line spacing to the original layout if the MetaNormal font is used.
The same font with bold weight renders as expected.

Exporting the same ODT file via Export dialogue on Windows generates a PDF that looks identical to the original document.

The TTF is installed in a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts/truetype/.

We don't ship the MetaNormal font. Where can one find it?

Please upload a test ODT (that will reduce the variables when trying to reproduce the problem).

Status -> NEEDINFO

(please change status back to UNCONFIRMED after you attach the ODT)
