strange characters when using character combination "ff" in the text

nielsen
We have a problem in the converted PDF (with Prince 9.0 rev 2) when using the font "Circular Pro" (http://lineto.com/The+Fonts/Font+Categories/Text+Fonts/Circular/) with the character combination ff (two small f without a space between) in the text. All characters are shifted 29 positions backwards in the ASCII-table. Here is a example with the original word "editorial" and the output in the pdf:

EDITORIAL
(',725,$/

You can see the wrong output only in the firefox pdf viewer (firefox 23 on mac and windows). Other browser viewer, adobe acrobat reader or adobe acrobat pro are showing the right characters without the shifting. When using other fonts the problem doesn't exist

When creating a pdf with different programs (no Prince) on a mac or windows with the font "Circular Pro" the pdf is displayed without problems in the firefox pdf viewer.
