I've tested on okular 0.17.4 and 0.19.0, both seem Ok.

If you'd like to send me the pdf which won't display on your ubuntu, I might be 
able to 
see what is wrong. You could also try:-

echo file | groff -Tpdf -P-y -PU | okular -

To use an alternative font, which will actually be embedded in the pdf, rather 
than the 
pdf viewer substituting what it thinks is the closest font (which may not 
contain the 'fi' 
glyph).
