It is interesting.
The same happens to me in okular (unlike in xpdf) so problem is not
with evince but with the popplar library for sure. ( see the enclosed
png file)
I also enclosed the with packages of fonts installed on my system.
And this is the output of pdffonts but I still don't know how to come
over this problem.

On the other hand, another machine which I also upgraded doesn't have
this problem at all.

> I am using Evince to view a TexLive compilation of an Optics Express paper that I am trying to submit in DVI format.  The paper displays correctly in xdvi, but not in Evince.  Evince is much better in general than xdvi, so I would prefer to use it.  Evince does not display many parts of my math equations correctly.  It seems to be some kind of font issue, but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
