I do not have Corsiva installed on my PC (Windows 7 Pro)

I'm baffled.

That is the issue.  If you do not have the font
installed, it will not print correctly.  LibreOffice will list the font 
name
that is linked to the part of the text your courser is at, but that will
not mean a thing except that is the font the original document used.

Won't LO allow you to embed the font right in the document?  I can't find it 
now but I feel certain I've seen the feature.

Unless this has changed in LibO, it doesn't.

There are bugs in the OOo tracker about this:
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20370

In a few words, this is (was?) not implemented because noone did it yet,
and because some people fear the draconian laws in the US (DMCA, I'm
looking at you) and its harsh enviroment where some companies want to
make money by simply suing everyone everywhere.

Which is a bit ironic, as OpenOffice has been doing PDF export for ages,
and I suppose that feature embeds non-standard fonts (PDF/A-1a goes
further because it not only requires font embedding, it also embeds
standard fonts).
