Bug Description

On every possible zoom level the text appears blurry. Everything else is sharp as you can see on the attached screenshot. I have set the scale to 2x in displaysettings because i am using a 4k hidpi display. It has 140dpi.

I have marked the text so you can see its not just a scaled image. It is text. I am able to copy text and paste it in a textfield.

Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Evince 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.2

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
