Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug.
The problem is that you are using fonts from a non-standard location and
Evince's apparmor profile is not allowed to access them. From /var/log/kern.log:
Jul 22 00:04:03 ELI6 kernel: [ 1526.794903] type=1400
audit(1342911843.763:259): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=3880
profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/windows/Windows/Fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf" pid=3933
comm="evince" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0
You need to update your profile to allow access to these fonts. Feel free to
edit /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.evince to have:
/windows/Windows/Fonts/* r,
Then perform:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
While I appreciate the difficulties you are facing and that the above
workaround will fix the issue for you, this change to the AppArmor
profile will not be included in Ubuntu because this is a non-standard
system configuration. Thanks again.

Title:
Evince doesn't display menus or documents correctly
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I'm using Hebrew as my system interface language. I'm sure evince used
to work fine (or maybe I was using acroread) but now when Itry to
open PDF documents the display is absolutely useless. The menu texts
are replaced by square blocks and the documents just show up as almost
blank white pages (see attached screenshot and console log - it's much
easier to show in a screenshot than it is to explain in words).
