If the PDFs are generated from TeX/LaTeX/dvips output
note that dvips does (or at least did in the past)
font subsetting in a wrong way, see
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897284
in particular see
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897284#c18
and
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897284#c20
and subsequent comments and
also see the therein mentioned Ghostscript issue reports.

It is possible to specify that dvips embeds whole fonts, see
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897284#c25
and
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897284#c32
