Hi :)
I think once you have downloaded the font package all you need to do is double-click on the
downloaded file and click "Ok". I think it's about that easy even on Windows. Tim at KrackedPress
might have a better and more detailed method. This would mean sending people 2 small files instead
of just one.
Given that Windows currently has a big problem with embedded fonts it might be seen as good
practice to do that anyway. Apparently there are exploits out in the wild that can compromise a
system through using a carefully crafted font that gets embedded in documents and then subverts the
font reader. By sending the font separately the antivirus programs have more chance of catching
the nefarious font packages. At the moment patches seem aimed at disabling programs ability to
read embedded fonts but a better patch should appear soon.
So, even tho that is not the cause of the problem this time giving fonts as a separate package
might be appreciated by people that have read the scare stories.
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
For this specific use-case, might it be possible to install the font?
I did a quick google search and it seems that the font is available
for download (MScore20 at least). But it was only a quick look, I
might be wrong.
Seeing as the font is embedded in the pdf file, maybe it's possible to
extract and then install it? Not sure how you would do that though.
