Public bug reported:

Hello,

a pdf does not print correctly. It is a government form created with
Acrobat PDFMaker.

When printed with 'evince' on the same computer and same printer
everything is fine.

With okular, the first page is printed, the second page is not, instead this error message is printed:
   PCL XL error, Subsystem: KERNEL, Error: Illegal Tag, Operator 0xfe

To debug this I printed the pdf from okular to file (Postscript). Then, when viewing this ps with okular, the following error is shown in the console a lot of times:
   GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1

And printing this ps-File with lpr of course results in the same
printing error.

I also tried with libfreetype6 from quantal, but this did not change
anything.
