STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a PDF containing Unicode Character “ż” (U+017C) in Okular OBSERVED RESULT Okular can't display such character, there is blank space where the character is supposed to be displayed. EXPECTED RESULT All characters are displayed correctly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: archlinux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Other viewer, like Evince (or Chrome built in viewer) do not have this problem and all characters are displayed correctly. I've also analyzed used fonts (File->Properties->Fonts) with Plasma font viewer and all those fonts contain needed characters.
Created attachment 127135 [details] Test file Looks like everything is good here (Okular from git/master, poppler 0.87). Can you recheck?

I have https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts/ installed, but I'm not sure if Okular is picking anything from that package (see attached "properties" screenshot).

I have liberation fonts already installed (ttf-liberation-2.1.0-1)
I think the font you're missing and that Yuri has is Calibri (see his screenshot), there's not much we can do if people create PDF files without embedding the fonts outside the "standard 14 pdf fonts". Please try obtaining calibri and see if that fixes the issue for you.
I've installed ttf-vista-fonts package (containing Calibri) but it didn't help. Anyway - why would I need additional fonts while Evince is displaying everything just fine?
That's a good question. Anyhow Okular is not doing any rendering of pdf files, so in any case this is a poppler bug. Please report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues
