Package: evince
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: normal

When printing some pdf files, some characters get printed in a "wrong" place, as if they were horizontally shifted to the right.
It happens when the preview is generated, and when printing to a file or a real printer.
The pdf located at http://eprint.iacr.org/2009/606 produce a wrong output, look especially at the section titles.
It often happens with pdfs produced from latex files but could be unrelated.
Using acroread to print the same file to the same real printer gives a correct result, so I filed the bug here and not under Cups package.

It also happened using evince within a VM running Ubuntu Maverick up to date.
