Title:
  It doesn't display the text of the pdf, only numbers and mathematic
  symbols/letters

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1)Ububtu 13.4
  2)evince 3.6.1-1ubuntu3
  3)View pdf
  4)Incomplete display as all the words were missing. Only numbers and mathematical letters/symbols were displayed

  Additional info:
  Note that I have in my system the truetype fonts from the package Restricted extras and that the pdf's language is Greek.

  I checked with one of the pdf files, and it doesn't have embeded all
  the fonts. The program chose the ones to use. Some of them had the
  same name, some others didn't (even though they existed in the system
  fonts folder). I checked the fonts used with Font Manager and they
  displayed Greek text correctly.

  I also tried some other pdf viewers for Linux, but none of them
  worked. The only program that worked was the Adobe Reader.

  The text is there and I can copy it and paste it somewhere else. But
  you can't see it at the pdf even when highlighted.
