Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Consider the attached PDF, the fontspec documentation, from CTAN:/macros/
Opening it in Evince prints the following:
Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping
Error: Unknown font tag 'F5.1'
Error (7597): No font in show
The last two lines are printed numerous times, with the number (an offset?) incrementing each time.
Scrolling to page three reveals missing chunks of text, specifically, those in a monospaced font.
Opening the same file in xpdf prints the warning about missing 'Adobe-Japan1', but not the other two, and the text appears properly. I've had a bit of trouble extracting a single affected page--if I print it from Evince, it's broken both in Evince and in xpdf; if I print it from xpdf, it works in both Evince and xpdf.
If the test case is too unwieldy, I can see about trying to reduce it. Please let me know if this is a Poppler or an Evince bug, and where I should file it upstream.

The linked Debian bug appears to describe a similar issue, and includes this additional PDF displaying the problem. The unknown font tag it complains of is "G1".
In this case, the size markings from the diagrams, as well as many of the values in the tables (starting on the second page) display in xpdf but not in Evince.
