Description Oded Arbel 2008-05-13 09:07:11 UTC 
Version:           0.6.3 (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-17-generic

I routinely get the invoice from my cellular provider in PDF format, and Okular for some reason shows the PDF with all graphics in place but not a shred of text to see. 

AAdobe Acrobat works fine, as well as XPDF (which is not as easy to use as I would have hoped).
I'm going to attach some screenshots of the output  next.


Obviously this being an invoice I'm don't think postng it on the web would be a good idea, but I can email it privately to okular developers if they want

The library okular uses for font rendering (freetype) had problems with the font for that text. After the freetype developers have been informed of the issue a fix has been released and will be part of next freetype release.
