Evince needs Poppler to render PDFs. http://live.gnome.org/Evince/SupportedDocumentFormats Yes, bringing in poppler was intentional. The lack of poppler was what was breaking Read. Speaking of Evince, does Read support DjVu in 8.2.0? The rpm changelog suggested so. Can you try it out with a recent joyride?
