anonymized.pdf

I received a file from gour on the poppler IRC. With recent versions of cairo,
printing with evince adds some characters to the document. I don't believe I'm
allowed to share the original file so I'm attaching this anonymized version.

This is reproducible through poppler's pdftocairo program. Running `pdftocairo
-pdf anonymized.pdf bad.pdf` produces a pdf that shows additional characters. I
traced the regression to this commit:

    scaled-font-subsets: if glyph 0 used for rendering, remap to different
index

    Some broken pdfs use glyph 0 in embedded fonts for rendering instead of
.notdef.
    The cmap we use for embedding latin fonts does not allow rendering glyph 0.
Ensure
    if glyph 0 is used, it is mapped to a non 0 glyph in the subset.

    Bug 89082

This PDF includes a character mapped to glyph index 0. It's not supposed to be
visible in the document, but after `pdftocairo -pdf` conversion it is.
