This bug is currently causing Evince to display incorrect fonts under Ubuntu's
"Hardy Heron."

I'm fairly sure that this bug has been fixed in poppler already.

I'm pretty sure the bug is in fontconfig and not in poppler.  It looked
to me like more recent versions of poppler did not exhibit the bug
because they call fontconfig differently.  However, the underlying bug
remains in the fontconfig library and will affect other people who try
to use the library.

There's a fair amount of information in the Ubuntu bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/327757

Specifically, please see this code sample:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22890843/fchello.c

It demonstrates that FcFontSort is apparently not sorting correctly and,
actually, gives a different result from what fc-match gives.
