I cen try and construct one that reproduces the issue on my system, but there is no guarantee that the same choice of font will reproduce the problem somewhere else: that depends on the history of the individual system (specifically, on whether the pk files for the font in question have already been generated and cached). > That would make easier to reproduce/debug the issue With texlive-fonts-extra installed, try the following. If you happen to have used font t2c-iwonami in the past, try with a different font. Note the "Permission denied" errors when running evince, and the decision to substitute a (very) different font for the one that was requested. $ tex testfont This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/plain/base/testfont.tex Name of the font to test = t2c-iwonami Now type a test command (\help for help):) *\table *\bye [1] Output written on testfont.dvi (1 page, 9320 bytes).

I'm not sure whether this bug should be filed against apparmor, evince or texlive-binaries; I can think of at least three ways of addressing the issue: 1) add "/usr/share/texmf/web2c/* Pixr" to the sanitized_helper profile; 2) modify the profile for /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer to use something other than sanitized_helper; 3) provide a separate AppArmor profile for the /usr/bin/mktexpk wrapper (and its siblings).
