PDF file which triggers the bug

The text in the attached PDF is not readable with:
evince-3.5.90
poppler-0.20
cairo-1.12.2

It works with GNOME 3.4.x and xpdf.
Comment 1 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2012-10-07 07:52:29 UTC 
What version of poppler do you use in Evince 3.4?
Comment 2 Debarshi Ray 2012-10-19 08:08:35 UTC 
I have poppler-0.18.4 on GNOME 3.4.x.
Comment 3 Felix Möller 2013-01-24 19:13:55 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this with evince 3.6.1 and poppler 0.20.5 on Ubuntu 13.04. Close it?
Comment 4 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-01-24 20:32:19 UTC 
Debarshi, what do you mean by not readable?

I can read the text with both, evince 3.4 and master (poppler 0.18 and poppler master).

However, if I select the text I only get garbage.  Please, confirm whether you can see the text. If so, we would rename the bug to render properly the selected text.
