pdf with artifacts

Opening the attached PDF (commercial invoice), you can see some artifacts on fonts rendering in 3 specific fields. Specifically the fields "n. fattura", "data fattura" and "totale fattura" contain the problem.

I am using okular with libpoppler 0.16.5.

Running "gs <filename>.pdf" on the same linux machine I can see the PDF correctly.

Can you please attach a screenshot highlighting what you think is wrongly rendered?

It's a PDF that does uses non embedded fonts, the results can be obviously improved but in fact if you want good results in a PDF you need to embed the fonts.

And I marked the checkbox "Embed standard fonts" to embed all fonts when I exported that PDF. My question is - which of fonts are "non-standard"? I would like to embed ALL fonts, not just standard ones.

Yeah, but that's a different issue. For this you should probably file a bug to libreoffice so the PDF export embeds all fonts.
