Bug Description

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/518236

There seems to be a regression bug exactly as described in the linked bug report, in the currently fully patched ubuntu 16.04.

I found this problem recently with a pdf prepared by origin on windows. The file contains mu characters. I came accross this bug report, and the datasheet posted by the OP, on page 6, lower right, shows missing characters in Okular 0.24.2 with PDF Backend 0.6.5. (I am attaching two images, one by okular and one by Firefox). Evince also renders wrongly.

libpoppler is 0.41.0-0ubuntu1.1.

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04

This is a small pdf (2x1 cm^2) with 1 um (u = greek symbol) created in Origin on Windows.
