That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/33239 "This could be bug in some other package, but it shows in evince. evince.pdf shows correctly with warty and hoary (live-cd:s). Problems occur with breezy-live and dapper installed. See attached file. http://librarian.launchpad.net/1607136/evince.pdf test bug with this attachment. http://librarian.launchpad.net/1607200/evince.odt This is how it should be. Problem isn't oo2 exporting. http://librarian.launchpad.net/1607273/Screenshot.png shows original .odt with .pdf not showed correctly in same screenshot. Kpdf is like evince but KGhostView shows it like it is. http://librarian.launchpad.net/1607297/Screenshot-1.png shows difference of output of these programs."
Yet another bug that kpdf 3.5.1 shows correctly and poppler CVS that has 99% similar code not :-S have to investigate further
Will work on next 0.5.x release, if you still have a problem in that you see "something" inside the box but it is not a check, the problem is that your distribution does not have a correct fontconfig substitution for ZapfDingbats font, see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fpoppler for more info.
