As a PDF _viewer_, evince uses fonts embedded and subset in PDF files. Inkscape can only use fonts installed on the local system for rendering text as text (feature requests to import and convert (subset) fonts from PDF files to SVG fonts, and to add support in Inkscape to use such embedded SVG fonts when rendering SVG text objects on-canvas are tracked in earlier reports. SVG fonts are deprecated though and will be dropped from future SVG specifications).

In Inkscape 0.91, you can choose 'import via poppler' as alternative PDF import - this will import text as paths, reusing the glyph data from the fonts embedded in the PDF file. The text however is no longer editable as text.
