Bug Description

When handling truetype fonts evince creates temporary files in /tmp. When things are working correctly the files are automatically unlinked. When something fails evince will print out an error message and forget to clean up the temporary files.

Each time it happens the following three lines are printed:
Error: failed to load truetype font

some font thing failed
and a file with a random six character name is left in /tmp. It would be a good idea to use slightly more descriptive names for the temporary files such that the culprit is easier to identify when something goes wrong.

This version has expired some times ago, and no backport is expected as there is no 'security' reported problem
