I talked with an upstream developer in IRC. The point is that evince uses libcairo and libcairo did not have support for "user fonts". Now that the new feature is implemented in cairo, somebody must actually make poppler _use_ it.
The likely correct upstream bug is http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17497 -- [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
