evince also complains. Apart from the usual handful of

look at the standard error stream ("terminal window? what would

some font thing failed

One might, at this point, begin to appreciate why I'm such a
cranky old
bastard about diagnostic messages being informative.
As a cranky old bat on this topic myself, i just had to take a few
minutes to find the source of this effort to further lower the bar
of error message quality. It turns out it's coming from Poppler,
not Evince, in CairoFontEngine.cc:
fprintf(stderr, "some font thing failed\n");
