Looking at `ss-5.pdf`, I saw the same rendering issue. The problem
appears to be associated with font substitution. In particular,
CourierStd is replaced with Ubuntu, which obviously won't render
properly.

I was able to correct the issue by installing the `fonts-urw-base35`
package and creating a file `~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-pdf-
aliases.conf` with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "/etc/fonts/conf.d/fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<alias binding="same">
<family>CourierStd</family>
<accept>
<family>Nimbus Mono PS</family>
</accept>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
This problem can likely be fixed by adding font substitution rules to
the appropriate font packages.
