The problem is this code in xpdf:

  if (ff->trueType && gid == 0) {
    // skip the TrueType notdef glyph
    return gFalse;
  }

Removing that code makes the missing characters work, but I 
do suspect that it will break other files (where glyph 0 is
used as space even though it contains an outline), so the
problem to solve here is to know when to safely skip this test.
