<pre>I do not consider this a poppler bug either because this PDF does not embed
fonts and it looks up glyphs by the glyph ID, which is a bad idea because glyph
IDs are only meaningful for one specific font. The PDF spec even has a line
forbidding this behavior.
As a workaround, you can install Microsoft's Arial font. You might also need
to add something like this to your ~/.fonts.conf to make sure that ArialMT (the
font referenced in the PDF) gets matched to Arial:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="pattern">
<test name="family">
<string>ArialMT</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend">
<string>Arial</string>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig></pre>
