Sorry, the solution was in front of us all the time.

My 30-metric-aliases.conf was from a clean install of Trusty and is
presumabley unmodified by tex-gyre or Latex as I didn't install them,
even though it contains some references to tex-gyre as a lower priority
match.  As per comment #24 the Trusty update that you have installed
only contains a fix to stop aliasing TeX Gyre Termes to Times.  As
Leopoldo said in comment #10, the file attached to comment #10 renders
with Tex Gyre Heros (it's a substitute of Helvetica).  I've just checked
the file you attached to comment #12 and it also uses Helvetica.

Bug 1379375 contains a solution.  I have combined this with the patch
referenced in comment #24 (from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=c6aa4d4bfcbed14f39d070fe7ef90a4b74642ee7
) and attached a new 30-metric-aliases.conf file.

As I am not affected by this bug, am not a programmer, and am not an
Ubuntu team member I will be unable to assist further with this bug.   I
have, however, subscribed Canonical's Iain Lane to bug 1379375.  You may
wish to subscribe yourself to that bug so that you receive notifications
about it.

Title:
  Evince doesn't show "fi"-ligatures in a pdf file when tex-gyre is
  installed

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I open the attached pdf file, evince doesn't show the
  "fi"-ligatures, e.g. on page 17 I only see "Preface to the   rst
  edition".

  But when I mark text and copy it, the "fi" is also in there. Also
  printing works fine.
