This issue is in cairo, a graphic library used by evince and poppler.
It's fixed by commit
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=190678f6444ad879847d603c3c9eaf8e9ab6887a
in cairo version 1.15.4.



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

2018-06-26 Thread 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:', '  12345' instead of
'--12345' etc.

Best,

Matthias
