Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
I see this in so many PDFs. 2≠ instead of 2π.
This and other substitutions (μ -> alpha, ∆ -> O with a line through it)
make many scientific papers completely unreadable.
Interesting to note that copying and pasting these rogue glyphs does in
fact give you the right character.
XPDF has no such issues with exactly the same PDFs. I can upload an
example if you want but it's really not hard to find.

Evince frequently replaces "pi" glyphs with "not equal to" and other
substitutions.
