Comment 12 for bug 327757

Evince works correctly on "Intrepid Ibex." FWIW, "Feisty Fawn" exhibits similar behavior. FF seems to use the same font as my version of "Hardy Heron", but it's not oblique. (That is, it looks like a heavier non-oblique version of "Nimbus Mono L".)

"fc-match courier" on "Intrepid Ibex" also gives "Nimbus Mono L", "Regular" which is the correct font. To confirm this, do "fc-match --verbose courier" to show you exactly which file stores this font. Then install something like Fontforge which will you look at exactly what is in that file. If you set Evince to 400% you can compare what you see with the contents of the file. On working systems you should see that it's the same typeface. In other words, on every system we've looked at -- working or non-working -- fc-match is doing the same thing and it's probably the right thing.

Which means the problem is probably in Evince or maybe Poppler. The problem was fixed in "Intrepid Ibex". If the fix can be identified, then it should be put into "Hardy Heron" as well since it is still a supported version.
