Test pdf document

Experiencing an issue with GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA U+0394.

Char appears fine on screen in most applications (working on Ubuntu 13.10),
e.g. libreoffice, okular, etc.

However char appears badly in other applications (acroread for linux,
ghostscript based viewers) and most important cannot be properly printed on
postscript printers, where the profile of the Delta gets completely filled with
black ink.

In the attachment, please find a minimal pdf doc showing the issue, a
ghostscript based rendering with the issue and a photo of the printed doc.

Problem is severe, because on most Linux distros most apps substitute DejaVu
Sans for greek letters on all fonts that do not include them. This means that
on linux, most docs including bold greek letters in a sans font do not print
fine.
