Output of pdftocairo showing the bug

This bug was reported in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693926 as:

"Whenever I try to print a PDF from evince, only the first character on each
line is printed. The rest of the line is blank. I have five journal articles
from "Physics Today" provided to me by my professor and this happens in all
them. Xpdf, however, can print them just fine."

The paper is available at
http://academic.evergreen.edu/z/zita/teaching/SciSem/ss2013/articles/PT/DE_CP07.pdf

This seems a regression either in poppler or cairo.  It works fine with
pdftocairo 0.18.4, however I can reproduce it with pdftocairo 0.22.0.

FWIW, I ran:

  $ pdftocairo -f 2 -pdf /tmp/DE_CP07.pdf pdfcairo-error.pdf
