The PDF 14 standard fonts used by cpdf cover only the Latin 1 character set. Cpdf uses the PDF encoding WinAnsiEncoding which is almost identical to Latin-1:

Cpdf doesn't yet know how to embed other fonts.

However, I am leaving this bug report open, because -typeset should warn about the missing characters, rather than producing garbage.
