[Bug 52374] PDFs are displayed with the wrong fonts

Public bug reported:

I have some PDFs provided by Games Workshop which do not have fonts
embedded into them.

Evince now replaces the serif fonts with a single sans-serif font. Which
looks very weird.

Now this is good behaviour unless I actually have the appropriate fonts
installed, which I do! But there's a caveat: The PDF uses the Type 1
version of the font, while I have the TrueType version installed!

I don't directly see why that shouldn't work. I recon while the TrueType
version is being used it won't be perfect, but it'll be lots better than
the default sans-serif font which is now used.

** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
