In conclusion, it came from /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf . That file bind at top with "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans", evince could not properly handle the these designation. However, this bug *not* evince's. IMHO, in a precise sense, that cause evinces bad behavir. evince could not handle "font-linked" settings, - but other(many) application could use this. + but other(many) application could use this. In ideal behavior, evince use "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans" bindings handle the correctly, but that is not easy. I approach the patch. That is workaround for that bad behavior.
