The problem seems to be that the 3 serifed Minion fonts are being
replaced by a non-serifed font:

sturner@home01:~$ fc-match HelveticaNeue-Black
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
sturner@home01:~$ fc-match Symbol
Symbol.pfb: "Symbol" "Regular"
sturner@home01:~$ fc-match HelveticaNeue-Light
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
sturner@home01:~$ fc-match Minion-Regular
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
sturner@home01:~$ fc-match Minion-Semibold
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
sturner@home01:~$ fc-match Minion-Bold
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

A Wikipedia page about the Minion font is located at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minion_%28typeface%29

This font was not embedded in the PDF so another font must be
substituted.  This is a regular pitfall of not embedding fonts which are
not one of the standard PDF fonts, and also occurs on Windows.  If Adobe
Reader can display this font correctly on Linux presumably that is
because this font was designed by Adobe.

I am wondering whether we should close this bug on the basis that the
font should have been embedded in the PDF file.  On the other hand we
could re-target this bug to the fontconfig package on the basis that it
should choose a serifed font to replace Minion rather than a non-serifed
font.
