Still not working in 14.04. Strangely, using "strace -eopen evince" I
can see that an open() system call returns  EACCES, even though from the
shell I can access the symlink (and its target)

Title:
  Incompatibilty with Windows font Deja Vu Sans 9.9990234375 makes
  evince menu unreadable

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pango1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  When the font path contains a directory with a (reported invalid) 'DejaVu Sans' font, the menu and dialog boxes are unreadable (boxes appear everywhere instead of letters LANG=fr_FR.utf8).
  The font path may contain such a font in a dual boot system when the user has prepended a Windows "Fonts" directory to the font path (by linking it to ~/.fonts) and the DejaVu font is installed there (probably by OpenOffice.org 3.2 for Windows).

  When the Windows Fonts directory is removed from the font path, evince
  is ok.

  No such problem with other applications (Firefox, Gvim, OOo, gedit,
  Inkscape, Gimp).

  Expected behavior
  -----------------------
  If the font is really invalid, it should be skipped and a valid one (which in my case in available in the standard font path) should be loaded instead.

  Diagnostics
  --------------
  Here is the evince stderr output:

  Environment details
  -------------------------

  This is a dual boot system with Windows 7.
  I have my Windows font directory linked in my environment to make all Windows fonts available in the Ubuntu environment:
     ln -s /media/sda1/Windows/Fonts $HOME/.fonts
     ls $HOME/.fonts/Deja*
  Note that the file time AND file size of the fonts on the Ubuntu system are exactly the same as on Windows. However the content differ (checked with 'sum').

  The fonts have probably been installed in my Windows environment by
  OpenOffice.org 3.2 (but I'm not sure).
