I realize that there are possibly licensing issues, but if I had a copy of the font I could open it in FontCreator and I might be able to spot something.

Its called TRAP, and the last letters ÆØÅ is custom made from the creator of the font. 

We use it for our website and many other apps, no problem with the font. Only Publisher.

trap* is a 100% free font, both for personal and commercial use.

I suppose it is Adobe Printer PDF that is responsible for font handling rather than PSScript5.dll that is listed as the printing app in the PDF

when using Microsoft Print to PDF

So for Print from Affinity to PDF seem to be commonly two options:
Win  :  Microsoft Print to PDF (~ pscript5.dll)  |   Distiller 
Mac :  macOS Quarz lib   |   Distiller 

Do we know what PDFLib is used by Affinity for PDF export, is there a standard, like PDFlib.com?

If the linked font is the same base font that was customized, adding the couple glyphs to it from the .eps exports properly from my customized font version. I tried all pdf export types and there was no failure.

Someone know how to fix it? 

The fonts have different family names in the Typographic Family vs. the Style Groups.
Typographic Family name: Trap
Style Group family name: Inktrap
This apparently confuses APub.

I got the modified fonts from your website and fixed the names.
It now works fine.
The working PDF is below.
This is an image of the Export to PDF:

 

Font sub-setting was On.

This could also happen if you have multiple versions of the fonts installed.
I noticed the website fonts have different file names, but the font names inside the fonts are still the same.
Only have one version of these fonts installed.

Note: the spacing and kerning in these fonts is horrendous - which reflects badly on a design firm.
I first saw them on your website on my phone in Firefox (which does show the Trap fonts).
My Chromium-based browsers show Helvetica (thankfully).
Less sophisticated clients will not know what is wrong, but will simply know it looks bad.
More knowledgeable clients will wonder why you used such a badly constructed font.
