Hi,

According to this old upstream bug, Evince should have this
functionality:
        
        "Differentiate which fonts this system has that the document is using and which
        fonts the system doesn't have which the document wants.  Display Name, Type,
        Unicode, Embedded, and Subset."

From http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164843

Can you check if this info is available in File > Properties > Fonts?

If it is, all that is needed is a warning that a fallback font was used
instead and the document may not look/print as was intended.
