I have additional information. Within ~/.fonts I have a subfolder containing some Windows fonts. It seems that if those files are not OWNED by the user running Evince (even though they are group readable), then Evince does not display the fonts at all.
I feel this is a bug. At the very least, Evince should display a permissions error to the user rather than a document with a lot of missing information. Better yet, it should display the text in another font. Better yet, apparmor should be adjusted to allow it to read these font files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448778 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.
