Created attachment 54516 [details]
PDF file generated by OpenOffice comparing results using "Simbol" and "Standard Symbols L" fonts.

Version:           0.10.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

To be more specific, the characters that are not displayed correctly are:
Delta (uppercase)

pi (lowercase)


Reproducible: Always




Xpdf shows the characters correctly.

Not a bug, you are not embedding the "Symbol" font in the pdf file so it is querying the system for the "Symbol" font as is giving you one that has a charset not compatible with the "Symbol" font. You might want to read http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler and define your "Symbol" font to be a "Symbol"-compatible font
