[Bug 286175] Re: evince crashed with SIGSEGV in FcConfigSubstituteWithPat()

[madbiologist]

Official support for Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" and earlier releases
has ended.  Is this still occurring on Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Opening a pdf document from the web.

  Crashed before it was able to render anything.

  Link: http://www.copyright.gov/history/1790act.pdf

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Make sure GNOME is running, evince gets fontconfig info from another library (it doesn't access FC directly)
  2. Open evince on any file, then close it.
  3. Install or remove a font (try mstcorefonts)
  4. Open evince with a document (i.e., try the link provided above). It SHOULD crash.
