It works fine for me in OOo 3.0.1. I just tried it.
The behavior you describe is commonly observed in many applications when you
send someone a document in which you use a font not available on the other
person's computer. The other person's system substitutes an available
default font. On Windows machines, that would usually be Arial if the
original font was a non-serif font. Could that be your problem?

That was a problem with Acrobat's print-to-pdf. The font data was
turned off as a default. I am told that doPDF has it turned on
as default, since you have very little control over the output.
I use to have a lot of specialty fonts for newsletters. I needed
to have the fonts stay with the documents, not having it changed.
Arial and a Times font seems to be the default for XP. Vista,
I have not even looked at it. Sometimes it seems to be Courier,
at least for this Thunderbird email client and some text editors.

Printing a text to PDF is not a problem; OO works vey well.
What OOo can't do is create PDFs with autocalculated form fields or
automatic validations.
I use export to PDF constantly for sharing files with others, as long
as they will not need to edit them. It works far better than exporting
to Word format.
However, one thing I cannot do is set a control in an editable PDF to a
specific font. It appears to allow me to set a font for the control -
and it does keep that font for the control as long as it is an .odt
document - but the export to PDF converts the font to Arial.
This renders the export to PDF useless for me when I want to create an
editable PDF. I am trying to create editable PDFs for use in class
homework and examinations in linguistics. We need specific fonts in
order to display the IPA characters. Since I cannot specify the font
for the control a lot of the characters do not appear when the student
tries to select the answer.
Otherwise export to PDF is a wonderful and useful feature of OOo.
