            Bug ID: 94615
           Summary: Evince does not print hyphens in LaTeX documents
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: undisclosed at posteo.net

When I print PDF documents generated by pdflatex from Evince, the output often
misses hyphens, dashes and similar symbols, which is quite annoying because it
makes proofreading those printouts impossible.

Printing the same document from Okular does not result in missing hyphens.

The big can be reproduced without printing using pdftocairo:

> echo "\documentclass{article}\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\begin{document}a-b---\end{document}" | pdflatex 
> pdftocairo -pdf article.pdf out.pdf

If you open article.pdf (in Evince or in Okular), you will see a hyphen and a
long dash. If you open out.pdf instead, the dash is missing.

This bug has been observed already in other places:

http://superuser.com/questions/969987/how-to-prevent-missing-hyphens-when-printing-pdf-from-evince

I am running an up-to-date Ubuntu 15.10 on AMD64 with 
libpoppler52:amd64 0.33.0-0ubuntu3 and
evince 3.16.1-0ubuntu1.
