Hi,

this is an issue with fontconfig. The PDF uses "ZapfDingbats" font, but there
is "Zapf Dingbats" font only.
This can be bypassed by setting of ~/.fonts.conf (or /etc/font/local.conf)
according to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21395#c6.

=> reassigning to fontconfig

Regards

Marek
