Thanks for the answer, Kristian.

Are you sure that evince-0.9.2 (with poppler-0.5.9 + cairo-backend) doesn't use
cairo for printing to PDF files?

I printed a dissertation using evince and the output is 4.5 times bigger as the
original file (this is the worst case I've seen):

$ ls -lh output.pdf TesisRosa-B5-Uni.pdf 
-rw-r--r-- 1 ousia ousia 6,3M Jul 16 21:43 output.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 ousia ousia 1,4M Dec  1  2006 TesisRosa-B5-Uni.pdf

The PDF document shows that the creator and generator is cairo-1.4.10:

$ pdfinfo output.pdf 
Creator:        cairo 1.4.10 (http://cairographics.org)
Producer:       cairo 1.4.10 (http://cairographics.org)
Tagged:         no
Pages:          366
Encrypted:      no
Page size:      595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4)
File size:      6581079 bytes
Optimized:      no
PDF version:    1.4

And those CairoFonts should have been renamed by cairo itself.

$ pdffonts output.pdf 
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID

CairoFont-4-0                        CID TrueType      yes no  yes   1143  0
NimbusSansL                          Type 1            yes no  yes   1148  0

Doesn't cairo generate the PDF file when printing from evince to a PDF file?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
