Strange i can see them but some other people can reproduce your problem, i'll investigate it
Are you by any chance using freetype 2.1.7?
no, I'm using freetype 2.1.5 :-)
Upgrading freetype to 2.1.9 fixed the problem! Thanks for the supercool KPDF, it really rocks, it's a killer app for KDE! Imagine being able to just hit Ctrl-Shift-P and view a presentation right from Konqueror. Also the quickness of rendering and scrolling is fantastic. Thanks again :)
Marking as fixed because we can't do anything with freetype having "bad" handling of type1 fonts on older versions
You could create a configure-time dependency on freetype >= 2.1.9.
The problem is that very few pdf have problems with old freetype (mostly the ones that use Type1 fonts instead of TTF) and forcing everyone to use 2.1.9 seems a bad idea if most pdf can be seen correctly with older too
