Bug#533138: I believe I found a workaround for display of not embedded non standard fonts

[Safir Secerovic]

Package: evince
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: normal

I had font display issues until I installed xpdf meta package. I ran xpdf on some .pdf files and they all displayed correctly. Then I tried evince on the same files and they opened correctly. I then purged xpdf* packages and then and tried evince again and it worked correctly again. I figure this bug has to do with libpoppler/evince not having proper Language Support Packages information in their configuration and since libpoppler is based on xpdf codebase, things somehow get corrected by installing and running xpdf. Also I believe this bug to be related to bug #461499 as well.
