This bug also affected me. My system is Ubuntu 12.04 with most recently upgrade. Xfce 4.8 WM, both evince and okular have the same problem. You can try any of the PDF file which downloaded from here: http://australianetwork.com/studyenglish/s2780367.htm such as this one: http://australianetwork.com/studyenglish/pdf/s1001_transcript.pdf

I got an almost endless number of error messages: Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... Error: failed to load truetype font some font thing failed Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... Error: failed to load truetype font I must say I'm utterly disgusted with Evince not displaying anything at all when encountering a font problem. Why not fall back to an existing font instead of silently suppressing the error?
