I am a different user still experiencing these exact issues! I think the bug
should be reopened.
I downloaded the sample files and still experience the same exact problem,
namely that certain special characters are missing, and displayed as boxes, in
evince, but not with other software (i.e. the same PDF opened in Firefox
displays all characters correctly). I am using Fedora 37 fully updated, in
fact the same issue is present in 3 different machines with the same system,
and I've had this issue for a while just like the original poster, since
upgrading to Fedora 36.
I regularly experience this issue with PDFs that I create using R (plots
containing innocuous symbols such as a minus sign and greek letters), which
interferes with me giving presentations! This bug is a big deal to me
professionally, and at least having a workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what `pdffonts` reports on a recently offending file I created, which
matches the original bug report in showing a "Symbol" font that appears the be
the source of these problems:
$ pdffonts pq-tgp-delta-boxplot.pdf
