Bug Description

With this update something broke in Firefox' internal PDF-viewer. Some documents are not displayed correctly. Wrong vertical alignment, parts of text not displayed, on some docs lines are aligned at the top of the characters instead of at the bottom.

A sample of an incorrectly displayed document is http://www.detebe.org/usenet-buch/docs/Newsgroups-Buch.pdf
Page 7: content directory with extremely large vertical space
Nearly everywhere: continuous text missing

Maybe the bug affects only Postscript Type 1 fonts.
