Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Hello! Inoticed that evince doesn't render this document correctly: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf (link can be found on the XeTeX page in Wikipedia).

The “code” font words are not displayed at all. (See the attached screenshot; it seems it's a fixed-width font.)

Interestingly, Gimp has the exact same symptoms when importing the same document, which suggests a common library is the problem.

Ghostscript or the online viewer at http://view.samurajdata.se/ seem to display it correctly (although less prettier due to lack of antialiasing).

Hi there! Yep, that worked!

Shouldn't that be installed by default, or at least recommended by evince? (It's just suggested now.)
