Syntax Error: failed to load truetype font<0a> some font thing failed I/O Error: Cannot open '/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf' Syntax Error: failed to load truetype font<0a> some font thing failed evince 3.10.3 Answer from gnome bugzilla forum: José Aliste [evince developer] 2014-05-21 13:49:53 UTC Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This is no Evince Bug. It looks like poppler can't access to this font, but normally this means that the font is nos properly installed, which would be a distribution bug. So in summary, first make sure the font is correctly installed and if so, then file a bug in poppler's bugzilla. Update: It looks properly installed according to what I get from this shell prompt excerpt as a normal user: $ ls -l /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 133600 Nov 3 2009 /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf $ wc /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf 2160 2926 133600 /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf $ I also tried replacing this file with fonts found on www.fontspace.com/gust-e-foundry/texgyreheros and got the same problem.
