I believe this problem is caused by the PMingLiU font embedded in the particular pdf file. PMingLiU is famous on abuse truetype hint and cause freetype some trouble.

Freetype has to do some hacky magic to handle the specific font. Apparently, when the font is embedded/subset in a pdf file, freetype fail to detect PMingLiU and hence render the font in a broken way.

see: http://osdir.com/ml/fonts.freetype.devel/2006-11/msg00021.html

either freetype need to be fixed with partial PMingLiU detection or poppler need to substitute the PMingLiU with another font.
