Hi,

In some PDF documents, typically datasheets, I've noticed that
sequences like °C and °F don't display as anything.  The same
datasheet displays fine in evince.  An example is attached (bad.pdf).
The first line says "Absolute Maximum Ratings at Ta=25°C" in evince,
but the °C is missing in xpdf.

Xpdf outputs a bunch of errors beginning with "Syntax Error: Missing
language pack for 'Adobe-GB1' mapping" when displaying the page.

I think the °C is a different font.  pdffonts shows:
