See the following Ubuntu bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/1006263

The file attached there (also attached here) is printed with evince,
which uses Cairo to generate the PDF output stream which gets sent to
CUPS. There Ghostscript renders it and on the printout symbols in the
formulas are missing.

I have reproduced it as follows:

Opened the original PDF file (attached) with evince, File/Print, "Print
to file", PDF as output format, only page 60. This gives the (also
attached) sample page. If you display this page with Adobe Reader or
Ghostscript you will see the missing symbols ("(", ")", "-", ",") in the
formulas, especially S(t) in the upper left part, or S(i_0, i_1, i_2,
i_3) in the middle-left.

Only Poppler displays the sample page correctly.

As even the Adobe software does not display the page correctly, we
assume the PDF to be broken and therefore a bug in Cairo.

I tested the file with both 1.10.2 and 1.12.2. I can reproduce the bug
with 1.10.2 but not with 1.12.2. So the bug is fixed in the current
stable release.

Adrian, can you find out which commit fixed the bug, so that one can
provide a patch for Ubuntu Precise?

You can use git bisect to find the commit. Unfortunately I don't have
the time to support old versions of cairo. A lot has changed in the font
subsetting since 1.10.

There is unlikely to be a simple commit that fixed the problem. It is
more likely the result of the changes to support latin subsets or the
changes to Type 1 fonts (which the test file uses a lot of) to support
subsetting subroutines. None of this can be easily backported.
