** Description changed:

- I have opened the attached PDF file from the German magazine "Der
- Spiegel" with evince. When printing it, the main text is messed up. To
- investigate further I have selected "Print to a file" in evince's print
- dialog, selected PDF as output format and attached the result. This file
- shows the same messed fonts when displaying it with gs, evince, okular,
- Adobe Reader, and also when printing it unfiltered on a native PDF
- printer (HP LaserJet P3005, HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP). evince's own
- print preview does not reveal the problem.
+ [Impact]
+ Certain PDF files, especially from the German magazine "Der Spiegel", cannot 
get printed from evince, the standard PDF viewer in Ubuntu.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Download the attache sample file and open it with evince
+ 2. Choose "File"/"Print"
+ 3. In the print dialog choose "Print to File", choose PDF as output format 
and create the file by clicking "Print".
+ 4. Open the resulting file with any PDF viewer (can also be evince)
+ 5. Text is all pushed together to the left border of the column.
+ 
+ After installing the proposed package and repeating the steps above the
+ resulting PDF file displays correctly.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal, the patch is relatively small and in the upstream repository.
+
