--- Comment #1 from Thomas Freitag <Thomas.Freitag at alfa.de> ---
The truetype font SFBMTB+Frutiger-Bold has a POST entry in format 2. (This
contains the data needed for the FontInfo dictionary entry as well as the
PostScript names for all of the glyphs in the font) The spec for this entry
says:

If you do not want to associate a PostScript name with a particular glyph, use
index number 0 which points to the name .notdef. 

But the software which embeds this font makes it in another way: All not
associated glyphs points to the end(!!) of the Postscript name table (entry for
this glyphs: 270). That's why poppler invalidates this font and therefore don't
render any glyphs of it, and it does so without giving any error message.

But since ghostscript and acrobat reader show the glyph of this font I think
poppler should do it either.
