I have a number of PDF files which, when opened, display some text but
not others, and show dozens of "some font thing failed" lines in the
terminal. The PDFs appear fine in Firefox. I don't know what "texlive"
is, so I'm quite sure I'm not using that, but I do have some fonts in
~/.fonts

Thanks to the above comment, I tried:

sudo apt install apparmor-utils
sudo aa-complain evince

Now Evince displays the PDFs properly and does not show the "some font
thing failed" errors.

Ubuntu 18.04, GNOME Document Viewer 3.28.2

Title:
  Evince fails to display some fonts (some font thing failed)

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Dear experts,

  Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04, evince fails to display some fonts
  of most of my latex pdfs. I attached an example of the pdf rendered by
  evince, and a screenshot of what it's supposed to look like. The
  console is spammed with errors:

  'some font thing failed'

  The pdf display correctly with xpdf and  okular.

  Thanks
