Opening a document containing the font in subject, its rendering is extremely poor and almost unreadable. Acroread for linux renders the font just fine.

Reproducible: Always

It's a bug in poppler the library we use to render pdf files. Please open a bug upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/

Thanks for the almost instantanous diagnosis, I'll open the bug for poppler.
