Well, with the font*.pdf files I had attached in my bug report, I can
no longer see any difference between font1.pdf and font2.pdf with xpdf
(or zathura). So I assume that this was actually a bug in xpdf (or
poppler), which did something wrong concerning font2.pdf.
I've also compared the rendering of these attached files on a Debian 11
machine with xpdf, and I cannot see any difference either.
So I suppose that this bug can be closed.
