the attached pdf file doesn't display any text when using poppler cairo backend
(all text is rendered in white).

Selecting text (in evince) is causing it to appear.

This is with poppler 0.5.3 or 0.5.4. Splash backend is working
correctly.

Caused by poppler sending bad glyph id's to cairo.
It looks like the embedded fonts do not contain a glyph for the 'space' character.

I'm thinking the best place to fix this might be in cairo. i.e. it
should handle the error from FT_Load_Glyph more gracefully.

Indeed some work has already been done to solve similar problems with
cairo.

I've just compiled cairo snapshot 1.5.2 and tried again with all of the
test cases reported here (and its duplicates). All of them are rendered
correctly now :-)

Thank you all for your help (and cairo team for fixing it, of course)

correction, to get all PDF rendered correctly, you need fixes for bugs
#12284 AND #9846, ie git commit d62f8861689d8b9a9a837043fb78813f0407abd4
and 79d975f84bcc32e91db517d71a7312e2e1d653d4 against cairo 1.4.10
