Evince uses poppler to render text in PDF files. Changed package from Evince to poppler.

I solved the rendering problem (missing text) by using Synaptic Package Manager to install poppler-data. The file now renders fine, as far as I can tell.

Not marking as invalid until we determine the best way forward. Should evince notify users when poppler-data is needed, based on the font-information in the file (see below)? Should poppler-data be installed by default?

I have attached the output of pdffonts before installing poppler-data. In my next comment I will attache the output of pdffonts after installing poppler-data.
