Bug description:
  Some documents are displayed incompletely by evince.

  evince, okular, epdfview, zathura are also affected by this bug. But mupdf works well.
  As multiple applications are likewise affected, it seems to be an issue with a commonly used library.

  Some text is missing, but this text can be marked and appears like it would be spaces only, but copy and paste works well and the correct text appears when pasted.
  Thus it seems to be a problem displaying the text using the specified font.

  In the shell, plenty of error messages appear: "Error: could not
  create type1 face some font thing failed"
