(copy and paste from my comment in bug #5466):

The problem seems to be the way the name "Helvetica" is resolved to a real font.

On systems that provide bitmap fonts for Helvetica (eg. the xfonts-75dpi and
xfonts-100dpi on Debian-like systems), the problem appears.

On systems that do not provide bitmap fonts (like Fedora Core), a default
Helvetica is provided by the Nimbus face, a Type 1 font that is installed by
default. This one does not trigger the problem and the affected documents render
fine.

On systems that use a custom Helvetica, such as a real Helvetica purchased in
OpenType format, the problem arises again. A fontconfig match that provides
"Helvetica Neue LT" causes the affected documents to render with weird
characters as well.
