Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04

2) apt-cache policy evince libcairo2 libpoppler[0-9]

3) What is expected to happen opening https://launchpadlibrarian.net/174381397/2014055868%20%281%29.pdf is it looks as it does no Adobe Reader.

4) What happens instead is doesn't display some characters with diacritics like ť č ě Č ř. For example, on the first line at the top left, the ť is missing. This problem was first reported in Ubuntu 13.10, evince 3.10.0-0ubuntu2.

WORKAROUND: Use Chromium's built-in PDF viewer (not Firefox):
 apt-cache policy chromium-browser
chromium-browser:
