(...) Not embedding the fonts is a problem if you are planing to redistribute a document that uses mathematical symbols. In such cases, is better to include the fonts in the document although doing so will increase the resulting file size. I also get the wrong characters (infinite symbol "∞" instead micro "µ") in Evince. > name type emb sub uni object ID (...) > ZapfDingbats Type 1 no no no 20 0 The only tipography I don't have installed in my system is "ZapfDingbats" and this font is included within Acrobat Reader. This can be problem here. Tip: if you don't want to embed the fonts, try using unicode symbols instead using specific font foundries. > Is evince at all using fonts from /usr/share/fonts?

Evince should use the available font paths which are defined in "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf".
