I also get mirrored selected text in some documents.

I haven't been able to create any documents myself that has this, I've only encountered it in pdfs that has been sent to me. Unfortunately I can't share any of these but I can give some properties:
Producer: PDFlib 7.0.3 (C++/Win32)
Creator: Kingsoft Office
Format: PDF-1.5
Fonts: CourierNewPSMT-Identity-H, CourierNewPS-ItalicMT-Identity-H

Also adding an attachment with latin characters

This might be a neat trick but it is utterly useless when working with texts...

Evince 3.10.3, Ubuntu 14.04

sorry, but without the pdf file there is little we can do about this.

I can send you a pdf private in mail, but I can't post it here in public.
