I'm the reporter of the original bug against poppler: 
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16861

The PDF is an invoice of the Czech branch of Vodafone, a mobile operator
with approx. 2.7 million users in Czechia. I can estimate that maybe 30
thousand of them may be using Linux and a large percentage of them want
to read their electronic invoices. So it's probably more like 
*20 thousand* potential happy users. They might be using this font in other
countries, I don't know...

So if the workaround does not break other things, we'd be all grateful!
:-)


Thanks,


Jiri
