<http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-557746.html>They don't really
"solve" the problem except by doing what you did -- remove the encoding
lines. Perhaps you should try verifying your LaTeX fonts packages or check
with your distro repository to see what exists? I'm on Arch and they some
fantastic documentation. Here, for example, are the various texlive packages
I can pick from:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_Live#Group_texlive-most

Not saying one of those would fix the problem, but I wonder if you could
verify you have the fontsextra package? Just an idea?

Or run 'pdflatex file.tex' from the command line to see if any errors come
up when using pdflatex directly vs. through org? You might be able to see
more of the inner details that way and if it's complaining?
