Bug#902427: evince: Characters such as 'i', 'l', '-' missing for some text parts when printing LaTeX-generated pdf

[Matthias May]

Package: evince
Version: 3.22.1-3+deb9u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when printing some pdf documents, some characters, that are correctly displayed
on the screen, are missing in the printout. Reproducible for some LaTeX-
generated documents with utf8 input encoding. It mostly affects the characters
'i', 'l', and '-' and not all occurences in the text. Printing the very same
document works in Okular and also in evince 3.28 (on Ubuntu).

I am attaching an example document. In the top right, it prints 'He m' instead
of 'Heim', 'Ema  :' instead of 'Email:', '0000 0000 12345' instead of
'0000-0000-12345' etc.

Best,

Matthias
