Description

[Michel]

Attachment: hello.pdf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130218103317

Steps to reproduce:

open the embedded pdf file including bitstream characters on linux (ubuntu 12.04)





Actual results:

accented characters are not rendered correctly: the accents on the 'é's are slighly shifted on the right 

same thing on fedora 18, but the windows version is ok (tested with win 7)

Issue #844250 is also related to accented characters in PDF.js, but with different 
results


Expected results:

accents should have been centered
