Title:
  Empty files left in /tmp when some font thing fails

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When handling truetype fonts evince creates temporary files in /tmp.
  When things are working correctly the files are automatically
  unlinked. When something fails evince will print out an error message
  and forget to clean up the temporary files.

  Each time it happens the following three lines are printed:
  Error: failed to load truetype font

  some font thing failed
  and a file with a random six character name is left in /tmp. It would be a good idea to use slightly more descriptive names for the temporary files such that the culprit is easier to identify when something goes wrong.
