Bug#580204: Fonts not displaying might be due to apparmor config

[Dan]

Evince's apparmor configuration prevents it from opening TTF files from 
arbitrary places (say, a simlink to a different partition). Try adding to 
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince the following line,

   /**.[tT][tT][fF]     r,


right after

   /**.[xX][zZ]         r,


This would allow reading TTF files wherever they might be. See if that 
fixes your problem.
