Lilypond scores do a large amount of their rendering as fonts (note heads, symbols, everything that's not lines). I've been finding that pdf.js renders some Lilypond scores correctly and some incorrectly (ending up displaying characters like P, œ, !, ., j, w, ‰, 3 all over the place).

Any scores that I've created display fine in pdf.js, but I've come across occasional ones from elsewhere that don't. Here is an example of one which is completely broken: http://www.apollinemike.com/scores/4sw.pdf. Some other scores from the same site demonstrate the issue as well.

I am using the latest version of the pdf.js addon from the git repository (updated just now), on Firefox 10 on Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit).
