could you please upload the font and a sample file to the bug tracker?
if you mark it as private only the devs will be able to see it...

just one further hint: in my eyes the SVG part of your sorrows should
not affect how the PDF is created...
but i can't be sure of it... so, please add also a sample SVG...
