Posted in the downstream bug report by the original bug reporter on 17th
September 2014:

This problem is still here in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ... and it has become a serious
matter.
More and more of my own customers are switching to Ubuntu, which is a positive
thing IMO. But with the increasing use of online web-services to handle
billing, document exchanges and online-shopping ... more and more streaming-PDF
files are being created on-the-fly as everyone is expected to be able to read
that particular format. But when people can't read the amount due on an invoice
or the delivery-date on a webshopping receipt, because the font-rendering of
the pre-installed document viewer in Ubuntu won't display them correctly (or
sometimes not at all), it really becomes highly inconvenient for both regular
users as well as more experienced user. The Adobe Reader installation package
is no longer available in ubuntu 14.04's standard repositories, which was a
go-to option for the more experienced user.
SO BUCKLE UP PEOPLE, let's see if we can't fix this issue. And hopefully before
we use a couple of gigabytes on the web in forum- and chatlogs about the
subject of creating temporary fixes and work-arounds of such a basic thing.

best of luck to all
