I could be wrong, but it seems to me that bug 1317599  was originally
filed about a document that is typeset predominately in Times/Times-
Roman.  After that bug was fixed by modifying fontconfig, this bug
remained for documents typeset in Helvetica.  See also comment #3 in
this bug.  The poppler patch described in comment's #5 and #6 of this
bug will fix both issues.

As a result of a fixed version of poppler being available, there are
comments in an upstream bug report to revert the changes in fontconfig
to avoid side-effects in LaTex and other programs using the TeX Gyre
fonts.

Title:
  evince does not display ligatures

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While there's Bug #1325230 with the same title and the linked PDFs there are working fine here (displaying "fi" correctly) there seems to be still some bug regarding ligatures. 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1325230

  I have some PDFs substituting Helvetica (and others) with TeX Gyre
  Heros and showing no "fi" ligature.  I attached a patch I derived from
  the patch in Bug #1325230 which is working fine. Now it uses Nimbus
  Sans L and the ligatures are fine.
