--- Comment #15 from Jason Crain <jason at aquaticape.us> ---
Acroread copy & paste shows "n Guido Westerwelles" for that file, so I'm not
sure poppler has any real obligation to show a square.

The PDF has font "KJPQRP+ZapfDingbats", which uses character name /a73.  I
suppose you could treat a font with ZapfDingbats in the name specially and
allow these /aXXX characters.  Otherwise I don't think you can have both of
these files work right.

What do you say?  It feels kludgy, but won't be hard to add a special case for
ZapfDingbats fonts.
