according to roderich.schupp ATT googlemail , The reason is that Debian and Ubuntu don't package poppler-data (http://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-data-0.2.0.tar.gz) that contains the necessary CMap etc files. This information is also contained in xpdf-japanese, but installed in a place

I had the same issue in 9.04, but installing libpoppler-data resolved it. Japanese rendering in PDFs worked fine in my Japanese / English environment in 8.10 before the upgrade. -- EVINCE, KPDF, ePDFviewer, and KGhostView cannot display any Japanese characters in PDF documents, when XPDF (with

As my latest comment i stated that somebody with a japanese environment needs to forward this upstream since the upstream developers are probably going to ask for more info regarding the rendering i don't have a japanese env and have no idea about symbols, so please can someone forward it? thanks.

I am not sure about what you mean by rendering... if it is a screenshot of what should be displayed, here it is in attached file. ** Attachment added: screenshot_with_xpdf (and xpdf-japanese).png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20968361/screenshot_with_xpdf%20%28and%20xpdf-japanese%29.png --

Hola Pedro, what is the japanese rendering info that you need? how can we provide it? For information, the bug still exists on Intrepid, and poppler-data does NOT improve anything any more. ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- EVINCE, KPDF, ePDFviewer, and

Sebastian: has the bug been created on freedesktop.org? If not, then I daresay the pull model doesn't work. Couldn't you just assign the bug to someone responsible for Japanese support? -- EVINCE, KPDF, ePDFviewer, and KGhostView cannot display any Japanese characters in PDF documents, when

I confirmed the bug for Gutsy. However, on Hardy it's working with EVINCE, KPDF, and ePDFviewer (not KGhostView: blank pages) ON CONDITION that I install poppler-data as Sebastien Bacher said. So as an improvement for Hardy, I suggest that: the poppler-data library should be added into the

I have a similar PDF (which unfortunately I cannot share), and neither Evince nor KPDF could display it. xpdf did, luckily. I installed poppler-data, and as a result, KPDF indeed displayed the document differently. However, by no means would I say that it displayed it correctly. Most of the text

Thanks for your answer, I will check it this weekend. Here is another file (applicationJP.pdf) that can't be displayed with NONE of the Ubuntu viewers (NEITHER XPDF in this case). I had to open it with AcrobatReader+JapPack on WindowsXP. It's not the first time that happens to me. I'm surprised

I can confirm this. I am using kpdf and when opening files such as the one above, it just displays garbage. Maybe it is an encoding problem, but since there is no way to set the encoding in kpdf, I am stuck. -- EVINCE, KPDF, ePDFviewer, and KGhostView cannot display any Japanese characters in
