Problem with accents on freebsd but not on windows

Hi,

I'm writing here hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem we have using gs to convert pdf documents to png.

We have pdf documents where fonts are embedded into them that do not render correctly (Some accents are missing) when using GS On  freebsd.
If we take the same pdf and use GS on windows instead, all accents are fine.

Strangely, other documents have accents fine on FreeBSD so it seems somewhat related to the specific font used in the document. But the same font works on windows... Total mystery to me :(

If we open the document in Adobe Reader on windows, everything is fine.
If we convert the document to png using Xpdf on FreeBSD, instead of Gs on freeBSD, accents are fine

We tried playing with the fontmap, but from what I understood, if the font is embedded the fontmap is of no use ?

I enclosed a copy of the problematic file (see bad.pdf)

and the example of the accent problem that we have only on freebsd (see capture.jpg)
I highlighted in yellow the missing accents from page 1.
Also, I circled in red other accents that are working which makes me suspect the problem comes from the font itself, but just on freebsd not windows build...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
