Right xiota, and I think adding CourierStd to 45-latin.conf is sufficient. I could reproduce the problem on Ubuntu 20.10, so it's not a Kubuntu specific issue as I first suspected. Instead, just as you said, it's because CourierStd isn't currently mentioned anywhere in the config files. Proposed

Looking at `ss-5.pdf`, I saw the same rendering issue. The problem appears to be associated with font substitution. In particular, CourierStd is replaced with Ubuntu, which obviously won't render properly. ![pdf-fonts](/uploads/aaa50e12cccb20910b8fa7c5d2d01b57/pdf-fonts.png) I was able to correct
