Title:
  evince doesn't display the correct font

Status in Poppler:
  Confirmed
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  When displaying a PDF document with a non-embedded font 'ArialMT', no
  attempt is made to display the ArialMT font.

  Expected behavior:
  evince asking fontconfig to produce the closest match to the ArialMT font.

  Actual behavior:
  no request for font is seen in debug output of fontconfig.

  It might be a poppler issue, poppler seems to convert ArialMT into
  Helvetica wich receives a less fitting match from fontconfig when
  Arial is present.
