Bug Description

Evince incorrectly print some PDFlatex documents.

Sometimes evince misprints PDF documents produced by pdflatex (at least,
not checked with different sources).

For example, in the included tar.gz file, you have a simple PDF with just
one equation. The LaTeX source file is beta.tex, and the file produced
by pdflatex is pdflatex-beta (obtained by running:

    pdflatex beta; mv beta.pdf pdflatex-beta.pdf

).

If I visualize the file with evince and print it --- either on a printer
or on the CUPS PDF printer, same results, so I add the CUPS PDF printer
generated files --- the files is mis-printed, with the "beta" symbol misaligned.
Notice that the file is correctly visualized by evince, with the symbol in its
correct place.

If I print the file opening it with okular, or directly from command-line
with lpr pdflatex-beta.pdf, the output is correct.

Attached to this report a tar.gz file with:
- the source LaTeX file, beta.tex
- the resulting PDF file, pdflatex-beta.pdf
- the result of printing with evince, pdflatex-beta_printed_by_evince.pdf
- the result of printing with okularm, pdflatex-beta-printed_by_okular.pdf

As I told, the errors shows exactly in the same form if I print the file
to a physical printer.
