1) OpenType fonts with Postscript outlines *cannot* be embedded in PDF versions 
scribus
support and consequently the original format cannot be preserved in this case.
2) Regenerating a font from an existing font in the original format is a task 
for a font
specialist which we aren't. Adobe has those resources, we have not.
3) The Type 3 method just works for any font.
