Hi,

The most likely culprit is cairo. The latest upstream bugfix release,
version 1.4.12, fixed a lot of bugs with missing text in Evince. I
suggest you retry when this version is available in Debian.

It would also help if you could try with Evince 2.20 and Poppler 0.6,
but you might want to wait for them to hit testing first.
