I do get the behavior you describe if I use the arial font file you provided but I get a different result if I use an arial font file from my system. I do still get the problem with copy and paste from PDF, but all characters are correctly displayed in the PDF (converted from PS with ps2pdf). I suggest you try different Arial fonts since that seems to impact the result.
