I commented out '\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}', rebuilt my sample case filed in that bug, and at 400% I do not get jaggies any more either: http://www.herrold.com/evince-400.jpg So the takeaway is that evince does not handle explicit font encodings as well as xpdf; because font encodings are a fact of life, that may help the upstream 'fix' evince's rendering when 'fontenc' is present. I have updated my upstream bug with new attachments.
