Ken took a preliminary look at the original file:

> Looks like there is a problem with the font. GS using FreeType renders
> nothing, without using FreeType it gives an 'invalidfont' error.
>
> Acrobat 'touch up text' tool warns that the 'original font is not embedded'
> and that the font being used is Tahoma,Bold. The font dialog does not say
> that Tahoma,Bold is even present in the document (there is a Tahoma-Bold).
>
> It looks to me like Acrobat is using the system font Tahoma,Bold as a
> replacement for Tahoma-Bold, probably because the embedded font is broken.
> GS either raises an error, or ignores the damaged glyph (speculation!)

I'm not seeing the same results as Ken, the 'touch up text' tool does not give
me a warning about the font not being embedded.  Also, I'm running on a Mac and
I don't have Tahoma,Bold font installed (I do have Tahoma-Normal and
Tahoma-Negreta). 

Also the fact that MuPDF reads the files implies that Ghostscript should be
able to as well.
