This PDF, which works without problems in Xpdf 3.02, does not render properly in evince 0.8.2 (poppler 0.5.4). See URL field for the problematic PDF. Will attach screenshots of page 3 from both evince and xpdf.

I tried this with evince 2.20.1 (using poppler 0.6(cairo)) on Fedora 8, and it is still a problem. I saw a lot of "cario context error: out of memory" errors on the command line. It does render OK with the Qt4 test application (i.e. using splash) for poppler head. Can't test with cairo on head. The Qt4 test app did show this error sequence: Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping Error: Unknown font tag 'C0_0' Error (190696): No font in show for each page (although the number on the third line changes). xpdf-3.0.2 also shows the Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-Japan1' line for each page. Possibly a bad combination of cairo backend bug and some incomplete stuff in poppler core?
Sounds like 9846 which should be fixed by a newer cairo.
a similar-looking bug appears on ubuntu with evince 2.23.92 (deb version 2.23.92-0ubuntu1) and libpoppler 0.8.7 (0.8.7-1) with this document http://www.huettenhilfe.de/wp-content/uploads/kochbuch/Tapas-Kochbuch.pdf pdffonts outputs (a dozen times) "Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping" and one found font. installing the package cmap-adobe-japan1 (or ...-japan2) does not make a difference (but i have no idea, what this is about, so this might have been expected).
i have just seen, that this seems not to be a bug in poppler (or evince), but in ubuntu, as it works if i install ubuntu's poppler-data package. sorry for the noise.
Seems to render fine for me, please reopen if it still fails for you.
Yes, this is fixed for me too now, using: evince-2.26.1-1.fc11.i586 poppler-0.10.5-1.fc11.i586
