I cannot reproduce this on AMD64 provided by SourceForge:

$uname -a
Linux amd64-linux2.cf.sourceforge.net 2.6.9-1.667smp #1 SMP Tue Nov 2 15:09:11
EST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$gcc --version

Comment 3 Alex Cherepanov 2006-01-16 20:53:59 UTC

Please disregard my previous comment. It is about the bug 688486 and was posted
here by mistake.

This error is caused by a mistake in the PDF file. The file declares an embedded
font as a Type1C font but embeds an unmodified PFB font instead. Acrobat Reader
can repair the file and we should do this too.

Comment 4 Ray Johnston 2006-01-18 09:52:51 UTC

This is similar to the 688465 (a customer bug) where the Type and contents of the  
embedded font differ.  
 
Igor's suggestion is to load the font by the contents (similar to what the font loading 
of GS does) and issue a 'pdfformaterror' warning if they don't match.
