This may very well be the patch that fixes the issue. Unfortunately, I do not currently have a stable chroot at hand to see if it applies to the package in stable and confirm if it indeed fixes the bug. :/ > At one time I had attempted to improve on the way poppler chooses > fonts, > but it's a little tricky to do that in a way that doesn't harm the > rendering of some documents.

In my opinion, poppler should keep on relying on fontconfig and instead get itself robust enough to porperly render even with the most unusual fonts installed. And with commits like the one you pointed to I see poppler on a good way towards this. Anyway, PDFs with embedded documents are of course preferable.
