I had the same problem. Another related problem is that, if /usr/share/icons is a symlink to a different partition, then evince crashes at startup:
$ evince ** Gtk:ERROR:../../../../gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c:1999:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL) zsh: abort evince -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396048 Title: Evince misses font and only displays squares in menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1396048/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
