The problem (missfont.log and problems opening .dvi files with evince) was solved after I installed tetex-base, tetex-bin, and tetex-extra (as suggested in the comments for Bug #42410).
However evince-thumbnailer still does not generate a thumbnail for .dvi files, but I can live with that:) -- Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder https://launchpad.net/bugs/53452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
