I'm using Gentoo, and see the same problem when using Okular to read mixed language PDFs originating from Firefox. Most of the "u" characters do not display. I wanted to add that I'm seeing very similar results with some non-KDE applications, which may have a bearing on troubleshooting. Both flpsed and pdfedit fail to display the same particular "u" characters that do not appear in Okular.
