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.

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.
