No, my patch does not fix either of those.  The files in both of those
bugs directly use the glyph IDs to look up glyphs.  Which is completely
insane for a non-embedded font because glyph IDs are not in any way
portable.  To get them to work you could install the exact same Arial
font.  Not just a similar or compatible font like Liberation Sans, but
Microsoft's own Arial font.  Installing msttcorefonts should work.
Might have to also add a fontconfig rule to match ArialMT to Arial.
