I can't confirm this bug. The given example works fine at my feisty installation.

That's right, installing the msttcorefonts package solves this.
But shouldn't evince give me a hint that i has to do so? Or shouldn't evince automatically download these if i open a PDF that need these fonts? (like in rhythmbox with MP3 codecs)

Not sure if that's really consider as an application bug, installing required fonts would not be easy to do and not work in most case when non-free fonts are required

Same problem here. I open the document and the font is ugly. Installing msttcorefonts didn't solve the issue. Seen like it using a ugly non-smooth font as a replacement for a missing one. Open the doc who generated the PDF show a beautiful smooth font, só it seen evince is using a bad font or has a renderization issue.
