Missing fonts with PRS-505

I bought a Sony Reader PRS-505 yesterday and love it. The PDF support is good and looks better than the conversion tools I've tried (pdfread.py and pdflrf from libprs500). However, some fonts don't show up. This pdf is a good example:

http://www.issco.unige.ch/staff/clark/conll01-final.pdf

The math in this paper is in an italic font which is not reproduced by the Reader. You can see this in the very first page, in the last sentence, where "k" and "k^2" are not reproduced.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? According to pdffonts, the document uses these fonts:

Code:
name                                 type         emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
[none]                               Type 3       yes no  no      11  0
Courier                              Type 1       no  no  no       8  0
Times-Roman                          Type 1       no  no  no       7  0
Times-Bold                           Type 1       no  no  no       6  0
Times-Italic                         Type 1       no  no  no      22  0
Thanks.
