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.
