Sample form generated by LibreOffice

Converting a LibreOffice-generated PDF form with a ticked checkbox to
PostScript leads to an "8" being shown inside the check box rather than the
expected "x" sign.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open attached PDF form "simple_form.pdf" in Okular
2) tick the checkbox
3) print (either to a real printer or use "Print to File (PDF)")
4) Look at the output/printout

Result:

An "8" is shown inside of the checkbox that has been ticked.

Expected result:

The same checkmark ("x") as displayed in Okular is shown inside the checkbox on
the printout.


This can also be reproduced by directly calling 'pdftops' on a PDF form saved
after ticking the checkbox:

    $ pdftops simple_form_CHECKBOX_TICKED_CLEANED.pdf
    Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ZaDb'
    Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ZaDb'

(In addition to ticking the checkbox, the document has been run through 'mutool
clean' to make analysis easier.)
