Example PDF

For some pdfs, poppler renders illegible output: The fonts are rendered as very bold. I guess this to be due to the Type3-fonts used, but this is really just a guess.

I attached an example, and also three screenshots (poppler: bad; mupdf: ok; masterpdfeditor: good). Acrobat under Windows also looks fine, but I don't have a screenshot.

Viewer: zathura-0.3.7 with zathura-poppler-0.2.7
Poppler: 0.57.0
OS: Gentoo Linux

FWIW: with poppler-0.61.0 I have the same issue.
