Description of problem:

It is not possible to toggle the state of checkboxes in PDF forms.  Think its
not a dupe of Bug #562952, but my file doesn't have ZapfDingBats font.  See
below...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evince 2.28.2-1.fc12
poppler 0.12.4-2.fc12

How reproducible:

Will attach a fillable form.

Additional info:
At first I thought this was a dupe of #562952.  But here's the pdffont output
for the file, note no dingbats and wingdings is embedded!:
