Abiword is not a PDF reader, when opening one it converts it to its own format, so that it can be edited. And that is slow.

I like epdfview ;)

About the fonts, there are some font extensions (Dejavu, Liberation, Bitstream Vera). Installing them might help with the unknown symbols.

I'm generally happy with epdfview also, although it doesn't seem to have an option to show the whole document at once and has gtk2 dependency (which some people don't like).

Xpdf is a possible alternative, but it wasn't able to display a recently posted pdf that I wanted to read. There may have been a change or upgrade to pdf formats that Xpdf can't handle.

I'm also trying gsview. So far it works OK. Info says it's not intended for printing though.
