[Bug 209145] Re: Evince couldnot display chinese pdf files

2008-05-29 Thread undecidable

Same problem with kpdf 0.5.9 / poppler 0.6.4
in mixed pdfs. displays the english fine, but displays garbage for the chinese. 
 
System is a clean install of Kubuntu 8.04

xpdf works fine.

kpdf 0.5.6 / poppler 0.5.4 on Kubuntu 7.04 worked fine.

Am filing here as I assume the problem is also poppler, and so should not open 
a separate bug report.
If I should open a separate bug report, let me know.
If you want screenshots, let me know.  
If you want tea and biscuits, let me know.

Have not tried poppler 0.8 - am not sure how.  
Not confident I know how.

I have to eat my words and withdraw the comment above.

After re-reading Pedro Villavicencio comments above, 
I re-checked what was installed and compared the 7.04 and 8.04 systems,
and discovered poppler-data was not on the 8.04 system.
So I installed it, and as if by miracle, Chinese appeared.

I should note that there was no poppler-data on the 7.04 system - and
the Chinese worked.

I should also note that how a humble user would know he/she must install 
poppler-data to read Chinese remains unresolved.  
Lucky there is launchpad to find this stuff out!
