Any time I use Evince, it just shows boxes where all the text should be. Instead, it uses the box symbol which I know stands for not being able to find a character. This problem occurs on every menu, and makes it impossible to tell what's going on in any part of the application. I've tried Googling for this problem, but my -fu is weak or it's hard to search for.

Here's a screenshot

I'm pretty tech-literate, and I'm running a fairly stock 10.10 install with GNOME.
