When talking about evince, it is important to check which rendering
libraries are used. I have documents that render correctly on my
debian box with at least one of the available evince packages
(linked to poppler 0.6.4), but not on Red Hat Fedora 8 (linked to
poppler-0.6.2), where some fonts are shown with "?".
While writing documents, I tend to use either apparition, which is fast
(as long as it is running on the local machine -- it can be very slow
over a network), or Emacs DocView just makes a png image of each
page -- often enough to make sure some TeX fragment is working
properly.
