I found the problem. I did not have the full set of fonts installed. This is Windows XP embedded edition. I only included the minimum set of fonts. Apparently, only 5 fonts isn't enough. When I include the full set of fonts, there is no error.
I don't consider this to be an error. However, it would be useful to document that evince/poppler uses the system fonts. Adobe reader apparently installs its own fonts. It does not fail when only the minimum 5 system fonts are installed. Regards.

Thank you for reporting this an looking into it further. It indeed seems to be a bug in poppler's font handling. Could you file a bug report for that at bugs.freedesktop.org. If possible, please attach your pdf file to the bug report.
