[Test Case] 1. Download the attache sample file and open it with evince 2. Choose "File"/"Print" 3. In the print dialog choose "Print to File", choose PDF as output format and create the file by clicking "Print". 4. Open the resulting file with any PDF viewer (can also be evince) 5. Text is all pushed together to the left border of the column. After installing the proposed package and repeating the steps above the resulting PDF file displays correctly. [Regression Potential] Minimal, the patch is relatively small and in the upstream repository. [Original report] I have opened the attached PDF file from the German magazine "Der Spiegel" with evince. When printing it, the main text is messed up. To investigate further I have selected "Print to a file" in evince's print dialog, selected PDF as output format and attached the result. This file shows the same messed fonts when displaying it with gs, evince, okular, Adobe Reader, and also when printing it unfiltered on a native PDF printer (HP LaserJet P3005, HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP). evince's own print preview does not reveal the problem.
