Bug#563943: evince: fails to properly render some documents

[gabriel b]

Package: evince
Version: 3.4.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #563943

Dear Maintainer,

Noticed this also happening. Until the recent update to the versions
bellow it was working fine and i never noticed that (let me know if
knowing the previous version is of help, i can hunt down how to get
that information from some apt-get log), but it may be that i just never
opened the offending files for a while.

one very common file that never gave me problem is the notorious MIT
guide to lock picking.

you can easily search for it online,
"mitlg-a4.pdf" as it's mirrored everywhere.

the md5sum is 5890ad5ed694b9ad85b689221a2fc263

The file renders with a bunch of "___" where words should be. but they
are not exactly "_" as the character would be if properly rendered. it's
a bunch of noise from the original letter, reduced to what looks like
"_". You can almost tell the correct layout of the text, but can't read
a single letter.

Also, changing pages with files that trigger this bug, will make evince
hang there for some time on page 3 or 4. but this is not 100%. and i
didn't notice this delay ever with the OK files.

Of note, the file mentioned in message #15 renders like that to me too.

Further investigaton, revelead this pattern:
mitlg-a4.pfg - PDF version 1.2 - fail
CoplanarPts.pdf - PDF version 1.2 - fail
other 3 files - PDF version 1.5 - OK
other 2 files - PDF version 1.3 - OK
