rendered text

On Ubuntu and OS X, using Poppler 0.26.0

The pdf text displays properly with Acrobat, but the following error happens
when I use pdftoppm and then the text is really hard to read.

Fontconfig error: "/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf",
line 70: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error: "/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf",
line 70: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning: "/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf",
line 78: saw unknown, expected number

My command is: 
pdftoppm some_text_compresses.pdf -r 150 /tmp/rastered

Attached is a screenshot of the result. 
The text renders properly with ghostscript. 

The PDF is sensitive, so I will need to e-mail it to a developer directly.
Thank you so much for all of your help!</pre>
