Comment 13 for bug 275786

Re (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/275786/comments/8) - long error message

You are probably missing texlive-base package. In it there are sources (.mf files) for basic fonts needed for TeX.

The message says: that program is trying to generate fonts (as I have said earlier, .pk files) and corresponding font metrics (.tfm files), but it cannot find either source code of the font (.mf), or a postscript version of that font (.pfb file).
