Wrong characters instead of regular font.

Hello,

My teacher uses some wacky "Amyuni PDF Converter" on word document, to get his material in pdf, usually Evince has no trouble displaying these but I have sample PDF that is completely messed up but fine in firefox pdf viewer.

One non embedded font is used as well and I will append it here as well.

I am using Evince 3.24.1 build for Manjaro distro.

Maybe it has something to do with the font MTextra.

This is the fon't that it wants

It isn't a problem with the MTExtra font. That appears to be one of the few fonts which is working correctly. And it's not just one non-embedded font; none of the fonts are embedded.

I'm forwarding it to poppler, the PDF library evince uses, because I can reproduce this with pdftocairo.
