This is not a PDFimport issue.  When you import a PDF it will extract the
text and retain the font formatting (i.e. font name, size, effects, colour).
If the font is not installed on your PC it will be replaced by some other
font and the characters may look odd if the font is too different.

In the case of Musescore, the font is internal to the program and is
embedded in the PDF (which explains why the PDF looks good).  If you look at
the document properties you will notice that MScore120 and MScore20 were
embedded. If you could get these exact fonts your PDFimport would look
better (I wont say perfect because that is highly unlikely :) )

Bottom line: if the font is embedded in the PDF and you do not have the same
font installed on your PC, importing from PDF will produce a Draw document
with some font differences.
