This shows the missing characters

This bug has been found on Windows. I do not know if it exists on different platforms. 

I attached a screenshot of the bug. On the left we can see SumatraPDF printing characters properly and on the right is okular printing random characters.

I used the following version of okular: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Okular_Nightly_win64/36/

Works fine here on linux, i guess the problem is with poppler not being great on Windows. poppler on linux uses fontconfig to find fonts not embedded in the file.

Poppler on widnows uses some hardcoded paths if i remember, so that's clear not enough here.

Adding the KDE Windows people here in case they find time to investigate this.
